1918 April Notice calling a meeting at Kunana 1918 April 15 to discuss the constitution; to form branch committees to enrol membern and collect fees; to discuss the purchase of the farm Kunana and other landed property; to make aBrangements to purchase all stock from the people as well as to buy their produce; to discuss the advisability of securing land to have as a stockfarm, to improve the breed of cattle and sheep.

Has just returned from Thaba Nchu where he attended a successful meeting; Molema's proposal was not put forward and advises him to contact Rev Gorenyane; has troubles which will place Chief Joshua in serious difficulties, Molema must make an address to the "Duke" of Connaught but must first consult Mr Algie as to whether it should be made in Mafeking or Gaberones.

Complains about not receiving replies to his letters, nor has Mr Gaboutloeloe sent him insurance papers; is forwarding Mr Fenyang's letter which promises the money owing to Mr Rosenberg; Chief Joshua is in financial difficulties.

Refers to financial problems and debts; Harriet (Molema) is happy; is not keen that she work for Mr Hlangwana; has recently heard that there are a few vacancies for teachers at the Lutheran School of R Brune and a school for Whites belonging to the School Board housed in the buildings of the Wesleyan Church; would prefer her to take either of these positions as the pay is more certain.

Has found no work or employment; asks him to plead with Linde to help him out of his difficulties; fears to lose bis job [editing the newspaper?] and even his smaller jobs selling insurance and writing for the Pretoria News can easily be lost.

They still need help for the newspaper; refers to a strike in Randfontein; asks him to plead with the Chief for help; there will be a congress in July and the Chief and other chiefs of the Protectorate have been sent invitations to come to Johannesburg.

Regrets that his time has been wasted by coming to Mafeking to see the Chief; reports that Mr Welsh will be going to Mafeking, and that he states that their land does not belong to them but on migrating to the south the Baralong were diverted to the east by the Matabele War; they then killed the Hottentots living in the mountains and as a result they are now being penalised:

Plaatje refutes argument stating that the land from Mafeking to Lohurutse belongs to the Baralong and Bangwaketse; blood was not shed deliberately but caused by provocation of the Matabele; they fought together with the Boers to expel the Matabele, yet now the Boers are troubling them.

Regrets that his telegram asking for a ticket for Lord Roberts' funeral has just reached him, due to his absence; hopes that he went to the War Office and received one; would have liked to have helped especially for the sake of Chief Lekoko and the Barolong; hopes to return to South Africa after the war.
