Fait partie de Silas Thelensho Molema and Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje Papers
Describes activities prior to his departure for England; had difficulties before sailing from Cape Town on June 11, because Mr Gumede's passport was not in order; before he left home he received a telegram from Mr Molema informing him that the Government refused them money which was to assist them in their trip; he contacted Mr Malan and saw him together with Rev Mahabane and pointed out that the Barolong had collected the money in order to finance the trip and the Government had no claim to the money; all the White people on board are sick while they are well; they are busy making their plans so that on arrival they can start immediately; hopes that they will he able to send them money as without it their work is hampered.
