Esigodini, Friday, 10th June Dear Gelana, I took a chance and sent to the post this afternoon. - tosind that I have another letter from you. The first one was e matter DI TOUT BIvorce, the 181nine about IT too Darsh and suspicious understanding of the latest one as IUI OI brightness bela ezandnleni zo and ner dress you have at Poleia. Kanti mina sengizo Tela pela stress base Polela ? HOT can you suggest such a romantic tia ce Ior your next home.? Have you forgotten that the fall of Dora was through the romance born at Bulner ? Are you not superstitious enough to predict the same fall for you, especially when you are also connected ith the man, she hoped to make busoand ? Listen, I'm telling you non, you are courting trouble and you better make up your and not to go to Polele, if you can help it. That is, if you are very superstitious). But, Gelana, don't you realise that instead of coming nearer to be and cutting distance very short, you are 001 removing iurther and further aray from me and making it very difficult for me to trust you to yourself when you are so far aray. Can you really stick 1t 11 December? and are you prepared to go and start at Polela, before you see my face after so long an interval ? Should I come up to Indalení ano see you before you advance to the desert fields o Poleia 7 I am inclined to ass for a fortnight is leave iust to have that stolen-secretive tete-atete with you. It 1111 be so delightful esuecially because it is stolen and secretive. What about it, Girl Are you game Suka Tape, unenlaizi vo emocela ukusuzca uume ne ukutolma abelungu bakuse lekude la pe uyokala kunga sabeli muntu. Haye ! Kanti impela, utanda imali ngapezu kami ? Mpela, wipela, Biruse to neze umuntu ongatemba intombazana. uma kanti nami nare sizo hlukanisma inkonzo yabe lungu nje ? At any rate, I am pleased you are going to be confined to some hard tork and perhaps, be so free to your-self, as to develop all the literary qualities you have. It till be a fond memory to me, to receive a letter stamped once more Polela or Bulner. Let us hope by the time you return to take your stand with me, you till have written a novel of the romance of "Polela Figh School" tith a lrs. Kumalo and a 11 ss Kumalo, the heroines of the story - all having their heart throbbing to the strains O1 one man - the same man - Dan tuala, hat a story, what a novel and that a sensational discovery. 111 you write it for me ? Please go and teach at Polela, not according to the old morn-out methods, but teach the young people there the true modern and social education, which will strive to make good their social life, their economic status and their rightful place in the great things of their race. If they are girls try to teach them not be so much dependent on men, but try to aspire to be the Florence Nightingales, the Mrs. 1.G.Baliingers, and the liss. Frida Hartley's. I have just received a phone call from S. Radebe stating that you have written him a letter and he has no time to read just friendly letters, at any rate he has promised to send you a letter enclosing the details of Percy's case and he states that ne is before the Court again next Wednesday for judgment of a sum Of £9-8-2 claimed from him by Mr. Johannes Moloena, father of Dora, case no. 133/38 at the Native Affairs Office. He thinks you can proceed on with your case now as evidence have been proved that adultery was committed. He assures me that he can win the case. As I said to you, I do not trust his methods, as he will not discuss the question with Mr. Basner, but makes his own arrangements which may not be instructions from his Principal. I have been with Theo to arrange our family affairs, and it has come out to the point that we have to go down to Natal sometime this year to inspect the properties at Edendale, for purposes of building rooms for hire. Our Grandfather, Rev. Joel Msimang.left this legacy to us and it would not be appreciative from us, if we just neglect this gift.Besides this we are planning to buy our Old Man's Estate at Volksrust in Town, which is worth 425 sovereigns and another at Ermeloworth £50. If we do not buy these properties, they may fall into bad hands and we might lose just that precious gift for our children. Believe me, I do not know how all this rigmarole will be settled at last. The old man made such a weildy will, that it will cost us a few hundred Pounds to clear the whole Estate Îree for us. Sometimes with my future aims with you, I do not see how I can carry out all these responsibilities and invlolve myself in SO heavy connections, il I am to carry out my real aims for our comfort. To stay at Orlando will be an alternative, if I cannot get a good home for me in Town. As my work is concentrated in the City, I will find it very difficult, almost inconvenient to stay So far, especially when I have to stay at the Club late at night. Don't forget you have to be by my side everynight to help me do my work. I am sending you your old Zulu Version, only on the understanding that you will develop it and make it serviceable for a Zulu Reader and Novel. I am also sending you the two Bantu Papers. I am having my General Meeting next Wednesday, the 15th June, and will send you the Minutes and proceedings of that Meeting. I am afraid I will not be able to attend Mr. Z.B.Matthews T Meetings, as I am not allowed to be a member of the Bantu Welfare Trust. He will also be at the Conference in Amanzimtoti next July 8th to discuss General Missionary Work. He is fast becoming our future Jan Hofmeyr and do hope he will help us to solve the many problems of youth. Your Heart is basking in the sunshine of Amafa" and he and his Uncle Selby have failed to make life worth while in the Rand and are recuperating in the freedom of homelife. I wish I was in their boots. Fancy there is so much to be done and yet so little one can spare in one life-time.Sidney & Uncle Selby can still find time to loiter at home( God really gives us wonderful gifts). You have tried to thank me, flatter me, sweeten me, and really prove to me your love. But Regina, you must forgive me when I'm a bit sceetical and unromantic with words, because I know what sweet words can do, and how very little can be got from them. I love you, Reggie, and am longing for you, not so much for my own pleasure, but for the sake of developing that confidence and trust in you, that you may never ever decide to disappoint me, not to be made despondent or untrustworthy. You have been so shocked with life, almost lost your balance, so much so that I have made a silent Vow not to be the cause of your next disappointment, butto be instead the lever to re-instate your trust and faith in me and in mankind. Your deeds more than your words should prove your Love and do pray hard that I may be saved from temptations to fulfil our real bond oI partnership. You cannot imagine how much I need your comfort and solace and with so much bad around it is impossible to keep that goal.

forever before me. I have lost that little paper on Steve & Christopher. Please write me out the same notes or concoct another fable. I hope I am not worrying you. Just my carelessness again, in the hurry of my business transactions. Love to you, dear soul, Let me know when you leave for Polela. Any help I can offer, please let me know. No silk from me Walk baxfeet in the country it gives Your poses breathing space. Don't be ndiculons Why need you be ashamed your bare leht?
