Scope and content
Taken from the "Cape of Good Hope Observer" 1851 April 22, as reprinted for the "Cape Frontier Times" (See E1).
It is attached to the Rev. J. Chalmer's letter, autograph letter signed 9 pages, to the editor of the "Watchman", condemning Stevenson's reminiscences as inaccurate and giving true facts of the massacre. This material was sent by W.B. Chalmers to C. Cowen in 1896, to show how unreliable were Stevenson's reminiscences.
