Cowley and Cowley to the Officer in Charge, Pietermaritzburg Archives
Requests information regarding the creation of the Trust.
Thanks Champion for recommending A.B.C. Xaba as Natal organiser and asks him to arrange an interview.
Informs Champion that Xaba is no longer available for the position of Natal organiser. Mentions that he will be meeting with the Chief Native Commissioner shortly in connection with Africans on European-owned farms, stock limitation.
M.O. Strydom, Archivist, to Cowley and Cowley
Suggests that a member of their staff be sent to research the Umnini Trust material.
Informs Champion that Mrs Boka returned to Johannesburg safely.
Corrects Champion's erroneous assumption that he can claim from Congress the same allowance that he can when travelling as a Councillor on State business; reminds Champion that the cause of the people should outweigh considerations of status.
Tactfully suggests that Champion should not be toys vocal in his condemnation of the pact signed by Xuma, Dadoo and Naicker.

Apologises for not writing earlier; enclosing a note to Xuma on Natal's resolutions, typed letter signed.
