Transcript:

Kimberley
Sept 20th/84

I should have communicated with you with reference to recent events in Bechuanaland but I considered that no doubt Mr Mckenzie would have told you all. A horrible tale of ingratitude and wickedness.

I am sending a letter to the Standard on the chance that they may insert it. It will be signed ‘Transvaal’ so that you will easily recognize it. May I ask you to forward me a copy of the paper in which it appears. I wrote some few weeks ago but have no means of knowing whether it was inserted.

In great haste,
I am dear sir,
Faithfully yours,
Harold Stephens
