Kuruman Incomplete

Acknowledges implements and comments on his lack of building still: apologises for not having sent Moffat's 'celestial map' sooner and refers to tribal disputes between Griquas and Baralong.

Ongar Essex

Sympathises in Mrs Pyne's illness: comments on hunting, referring to 'Cumning' and 'Oswell': relates how the Boers assaulted the Makwains, tore his books and smashed his medicines and would have injured him too had he been there, as they blame him for teaching natives to kill Boers.

To: ? Rowley Written from: ?

Thanks him for letter, which is valuable because the Portuguese quote him as saying that disaster came from taking Livingstone's advice and not from slavery.

President of the Vienne Geographic Society

Thanks him for honour of being made a corresponding member of the Society: described his exploration of the lower parts of River Zambesi: describes crops grown by tribes living on the Shire and tribal dress: region is unhealthy "we have tried quinine as a preventative but I question if it is so - the only good to see in taking it regularly is when a person does take fever" but says Europeans can live in tropical regions if they take ordinary care.
