Fait partie de Silas Thelensho Molema and Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje Papers
Is enclosing the report of their case in Parliament which confirms his opinion that the English people are more amenable to reason; is unhappy about their financial position which will impede their success, has had to settle some of the old debts; is addressing meetings in Kent and hopes to get further resolutions sent to Parliament; Thema and Mvabasa are working in the London area because there is no money, but their main hope is in the country; was promised 100 by Mr Makgatho but has not received it yet; the cost of living is higher than his last visit and the delegates are losing heart because there is no money; if the delegation in disgraced they will never again manage the Boer; before he departed he spoke to Mr Malan who promised to investigate the question of the Barolong money at Mafeking but he has heard no further; asks him to find out if his wife is receiving the money from Makgatho and Pilane as promised.
Enclosed in typed letter signed, W C Fenyang to Silas Molema, 1919 September 18.
