Mr Moshoeshoe has replied that he has discussed his case with the Chief who was interested but due to ill health unable to respond immediately; general ignorance in England about Blacks in Africa but those he hasnspoken to have promised to distribute his book to their friends as soon as it is published; has been correcting proofs assisted by Advocate Cross, Miss Alice Werner of Cambridge University and Sir Harry Johnston who have commented favourably on his work; has not been successful in borrowing money; would be tempted to give up were it not for the fact that he would disappoint people and be sued by the printer; Dube and Rhubasana are conspiring against him and do not want the book to be published; Mrs Saul Solomon has tried all means to borrow money, even from Dr Colenso, but peeple have no spare money because of the war; if the Chief would send him money he would be helping not only the Barolong cause but their friends, the British.
