Testimonial for Crewe on leaving Cape Police Force.
Congratulations. Birth of son.
Telegram received that Col. Crewe in pursuit of De Wet.
Personal.
Advertising expenditure to be increased by 50% to encourage settlers. Industry improving in Britain. In U.S.A. Roosevelt still popular. Situation in Europe still obscure.
Letter regarding the bust of Lord Milner.
Thanks Crewe for his gift to the St. Andrews College Fund. Gives report on the progress of Diocesan School for Girls, Kingswood and St. Aidans. Asks Crewe to exert influence in the establishment of a Department of Bantu Studies. Fort Hare would do the linguistic side of the course. Discusses the chances of Mr Stuart winning the election in Port Elizabeth. Personal news.
Acknowledges Crewe's critical notes on the Defence Bill.
Attempts are being made to reach a settlement on the question of the Defence Council. The Bill has been well received.
Rowlands' enclosure to Crewe was only intended as a warning that some regiments condemn material which is still suitable for use. It was no reflection on Crewe's judgement.
J. Carter for Sir Roy Fitzpatrick to C.P. Crewe
Letter written on behalf of Hume Pipe Co. asks Crewe for advice regarding East London Municipality's request for pipes, and whether it would be worthwhile for Fitzpatrick to visit the East London Council Engineers and explain to them what the company can do.
