The Project is grateful to the National Archives Repository, Pretoria, for kindly allowing us to transcribe this Olive Schreiner letter, which is part of its Micofilm Collections. Content shows that this PPS to a letter was written from England and refers to a lecture tour undertaken in 1887 by Ettie Schreiner (later Stakesby Lewis) as a high ranking South African officer in the temperance organisation the Good Templars; thus its dating. The actual letter it is a PPS to is not in the Stead collection and presumably no longer exists.
