The Project is grateful to the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, the University of Texas at Austin, for kindly allowing us to transcribe this Olive Schreiner letter, which is part of its Manuscript Collections. This note to Fred Schreiner is written on the back of a letter from Roden Noel to Ellis which Ellis had sent on to Olive Schreiner; this was returned enclosed in another letter Schreiner sent to Ellis on 3 November 1884 thanking him for passing these comments on, thus enabling dating. Schreiner lived at a number of addresses in Hastings between mid October 1884 and the end of April 1885.
