Difficulties on farm; cast of Rhodes death mask or hair brought back; getting hold of Cetewayo's throne; Exhibition 26 March - to concentrate on Rhodesian section and a special Cape panorama exhibit, make main feature Bell, Daniels and Burchell. Would give personal value to catalogue.

Thanks for newspaper cuttings re unveiling of Van Riebeeck stone; attempting to stimulate Town Council by visions of Johannesburg founded on gold; oval wood carving offered - part of old Portuguese ship showing Vasco da Gama's fleet at the Cape, but too large a price.
