4My dear Katie

6I send you a likeness of Mamma which I have had taken. I think you
7will be glad to have it though it is not so good as it might be having
8been taken in the open air.

10I have had a very pleasant visit here & leave again for Cradock on
11Monday.

13You must address your next letter –
14Miss O. Schreiner, Lillie Kloof, P.O. Eland’s Drift, Dist. Cradock,
15and I hope you will write soon. How is it I never hear from you. Do,
16as you promised, send one of your likenesses down to town & have
17copies taken from it. That picture in which you & George are together
18is a very nice one.
19
20Give my best love to Katie & all the little ones, & with much love for
21yourself in which Mamma joins me.
22
23I remain,
24Your loving sister,
25Olive

27P.S. I suppose you have heard of poor Maggie Rolland’s death. I hear
28that Emmie Hope is now in Grahamstown visiting Lillie Orpen.
