Enclosed in typed letter signed, W C Fenyang to Silas Molema, 1919 September 18.

They are all well, and informs him that his father left the previous Wednesday, and had said that Mr Malan had promised to find out about their money.

Describes activities prior to his departure for England; had difficulties before sailing from Cape Town on June 11, because Mr Gumede's passport was not in order; before he left home he received a telegram from Mr Molema informing him that the Government refused them money which was to assist them in their trip; he contacted Mr Malan and saw him together with Rev Mahabane and pointed out that the Barolong had collected the money in order to finance the trip and the Government had no claim to the money; all the White people on board are sick while they are well; they are busy making their plans so that on arrival they can start immediately; hopes that they will he able to send them money as without it their work is hampered.

Has returned from Queenstown via Bloemfontein and Thaba Nchu; the people in Thaba Nchu sent 230 te England in January and are anxious to hear from those in Mafeking; was unable te leave on the Llanstephan Castle with Rev Amos Burnett and Mr William Hosken; there may be room later in the month; the congress was interesting although Rubasana had spread a bad feeling among the people, which they were able to wipe out; he can got all the news from Gaboutloeloe.

He was asked to go to Thaba Nchu where Rev Goronyane, [Chief] Fenyang and Messrs Makgothi, Setlogelo, and Nyokong and others committed themselves to pay for his expenses in England; saw Tiege and Sebopioa [Molema] at the station on their way to Bloemfontein and they asked if he would write to him [Molema] to add more weight to the telegram they sent and to show the magistrate the memorandum to King George; the Governor-General [Lord Buxton] has seen the memorandum and says they have full rights to see their chief especially as the Nationalists want to divide the chieftainship; secondly they must show the British government that they are a people and that their chiefs should be treated with respect; therefore Tiego would like him [Molema] to send messengers to the chiefs to help with money and blankets, the blankets being for the delegates who will carry their message to King George.

Wrote the previous month about the Chief's accounts in Johannesburg, the Barolong message from England and the interpretation for Hae Kortong; is disappointed that he has not replied; the Barolong need to be compelled and asks whether the Barolong of Thaba Nchu would accept an agreement with the British Government as it must be presented as if all the Tswana are in agreement; his family are all sick; the natives in the Cape are preparing for the peace conference and they are the only ones who are lagging behind.
