10 Cron has gone down to Cape Town. He will be gone about ten days. He
11will be staying at his brother Alfred Cronwright’s Rondebosch, so he
12won’t be far from you & I know will try to come & see you. We are
13all flourishing here: the cold is bitter, but it suits me. I do wish
14you could some day come up & pay me a little visit. I know you’d
15enjoy it.
