Correspondence St. Helena period
This correspondence consists mainly of letters from and to De Witt Hamer, many of which are in Dutch (some with English summaries supplied by Mrs Barclay. daughter of De Witt Hamer). Subjects include complaints about conditions at the camp, the tracing of missing persons, the selling of artefacts made by P.O.W.s, the delivery to camps in St Helena of comforts provided for Boer prisoners, the entertainment of prisoners, the questions of parole or release. The letters are in no particular order. There is a file containing letters by Dr. Plowright, a British supporter of the Boer cause, and one personal correspondence between De Witt Hamer, his wife, his brother in Holland and others. Other correspondents include the Netherlands Consulate and the Red Cross.
