Has been wandering over Europe for the last two years and has only just heard of JH's gift of his Cape Results. Is grateful for the gift and the memories it invokes. Comments on the present political scene at the Cape.
Has not heard from him for a long time or his letter was not delivered and the unrest in Europe has not encouraged him to write letters. Sends articles, also part of a book, which he has been trying to get published by an English publisher. Would like the advice of JH on this effort.
