Scope and content
Would like JDLT to return to Natal as speedily as possible as Mr Nisbett's health is failing. Discusses the merits of other possible appointees. Is disappointed with the actions of Sir GW (Garnet Wolesey) 'who has sold out and out to do Mr Shepstone's will'. Discusses the enquiry into John Shepstone's case and his attempt to send for witnesses. Gives information about mutual acquaintances in Natal. Also notes the 'snubbing Sir GW has given the 266 Christian natives for their memorial' and the circumstances surrounding it.
