Mrs Greathead
From Schreiner’s letters to Lucy Molteno written in London during the First World War, it is apparent that Mrs Greathead (personal name unknown) was a connection of Lucy Molteno’s. Schreiner seems to have met her on a number of occasions, including at Will and Fan Schreiner’s home. Nothing further has been traced about Mrs Greathead.
