Note 1: Includes parliamentary correspondence. From 1952-1970 correspondence was filed in chronological order whereas, after 1970, it was filed in alphabetical order. The same arrangement has been maintained here. In later years e-mail correspondence has also been included. Also, there are letters from individuals, which have been included here rather than in Mb1.

Note 2: in the majority of cases the letter have been filed chronologically by the date of the topmost item (which is usually the most recent). However, in many cases there will be correspondence going back for months, or even years, attached to this item.

Topics include: article from U.S. News and World Report, 18/12/1961, by Philip K. Crowe entitled 'Diplomat's Advice: Keep South Africa as a Friend'; refusal of visa to Kenneth Bannon of the United Automotive Workers of America — protest by SA Trades Union Council; "foreign Bantu" — Tanganyika's - being kept in an immigration depot in Nigel instead of being repatriated; a lashing case in Port Elizabeth — 16 year old badly injured, Vorster says injuries "exaggerated"; a new constitution for soon-to-be independent Kenya (Tom Mboya, Sir Michael Blundell, Ronald Ngala & others); the Mr. Song racial reclassification case, Durban; request from Jim Bailey's lawyers for Helen Suzman to put series of questions in Parliament concerning the 1961 Pondoland Uprising (Drum magazine being charged for making false claims).

NB: as there are 4 chronological folders (January to December 1964) in this section, some correspondence on a particular topic is to be found in more than one file.
