Has not heard any news from home; is happy about the release of Dr Modiri Molema's book and was surprised at his writing ability; it is a tremendous task and wonders at his knowledge and the time spent to undertake such a task; he met Modiri Molema in Glasgow in May and from there they went to Edinburgh on the day that his book was released; thinks that the Barolong will now he scorned and hated by the other tribes an they will be jealous; is busy writing two books, one is a novel, a romance based on historical facts of Barolong history, "Just like the style of Rider Haggard when he writes about the Zulus"; is now looking for a publisher and is also finishing a political work, an updated version of "Native Life"; when he was in Edinburgh a Scottish docter wanted to engage Dr Molema as his assistant but he did not accept as he wants to return home; hopes that he will find work near home and that he will not have to go to Johannesburg; he has also received an offer to go to Johannesburg but if he goes he will lose all his political rights; he [Silas Molema] could help him revive the Tsala so that he would not have to write in other language newspapers; he nearly died of hunger but the thaba Nchu people came to his rescue.
