General correspondence

(Note: The correspondence folder 1916-1920 contains a page of a correspondence presumably written to Silas Molema, dated 28 November 1919, written in ink. The same page also has part of what might be the first part of Solomon Plaatje's notebook, written in pencil and it has the page number 7 written above the text.

It is assumed that Plaatje had written more notes prior to his diary which he entitled "Continuation of my notes on the Siege of Mafeking" - see collection A2550. Reference needs to be made to the Centenary Edition of "The Mafikeng Diary of Sol T. Plaatje", edited by John Comaroff and Brian Willan with Solomon Molema and Andrew Reed, published in 1999, which attends to this particular page 7 in its Introduction and Endnote.).
