Sekgoma: The Black Dreyfus; detained for three years at Gaberones Prison without trial, by orders of the Earl of Selborne, His Majesty's High Commissioner for South Africa

Incomplete. Includes "The Essential Interpreter", and a few leaves written in Tswana.

Plaatje, as an interpreter, dwells on the functions and importance of the interpreter in courts of law, and the miscarriage of justice in British courts of law in Southern Africa, because of unreliable interpreters. A case in point is that of Sekgoma, whose right to the chieftainship is disputed.

Leaflets

Leaflets advertising meetings at which Plaatje gave addresses while in England as a member of the delegation protesting against the Native Land Act, (1913). Includes leaflet advertising records made by Plaatje - see note in draft.
