Dear Doctor

I am eorry I could not keep my appointment for Sai»

turday. The car in which had some sidaaass that the friver

could not diagnose and when we did get going we arrived to late

for me to keep the appointment.

Is soon as Q,upe is ready with your figuees I send it on. He

as a rule is very slow but I shall stand behind him*

Over the Phone, the other day, you wanted to know what bdnus

I got last year. When I said £3 per menth, I meant my printing

allowance.

When Bishop. Sims got here fce paid me a round figure of *30

for the Six months I Acted as Principal; this works out at £6

per month. I am hoping that this figure will be raised in view

the better financial position of the Church and in view of the

fact that the Secretary of the School gets an allowance of £4

per month.

Please let me have per bearer, £5 for the Baker and £3-10

for the butcher. Thaik you.

Sincerely yours,

J.H.Hofmeyr sq*,

743 Schoeman Street,

E.oncB*able Sir,

I beg tc congratulate you in the recognition that your country has made of your abilities by appointing you for such important port folios* The appointment, because cf the importance and variety of servloes required of you, seems, at first sight, to suggest a super-human task. However, Inowing your fitness and training, t'ere Is no fear of your failing to make a sucoess of the big job* This task some of us look upon as a trailing and a stepping stone to bigger things, and as an opportunit]^!jRr serve the South African population as a ^hcle in many important and essential directions.

As one of the leaders of a greater aection, numerically, rf the South frican population, I wish to impress upon you that the outlook in Race Relations is very gloomy, especially since the coming into law of the government’s 1ative ills , now Aota* The proposed amendment of the Urban reas ct makes t e future gloomier for my section £ the people* Your Government's policy is definitely driving us out from membership of the State in a country we consider yours and ours* This policy estaolishes, with leadership of tie State itself, what I ohoose to call real raoialism in South Africa, fr.m w ich 'no expect very serious conflicts and antagonisms between the vhite and 31 ck races in 3outh Afrioa, unlea., uetter councils, which take a longer view f o r a greater South Afrioa as a whole, prevail.

As one who oelieves South \frica is large enough for both White and ulaok and that white civilization, so-called, o*.n we maintained nly if all ot e raoi 1 elements tan in South Africa are developed and trained to oe participants and contributors to its maintenance and advancement, I deplore the Union government’s Jative policy* I can assure u u that, under the circumstances, there is no alternative 1 ft for the frican people; out to fight for full com>3on citizenship in t e land of t eir birth and of their forefathers*

AlfXHJy.t Tuberculosis Is a disease that to.a been

km sn to affect woman beings from time iivieafrrial* (?ur early medical

knowledge goes back to t ‘>o Greek Doctor Qlpjocratea 400-337 Before Christ

wheje writings >:ive t*e first picture cf e case of advanced Pulmonary

a confusion in M s ideas ee to fshe aaur» and ba had no clear idoa s±

about new the disease differed from otver lung diseases.

Phthsia v s infectious disease, Sylvius 1614-137^ described the

the causative organise '-p Tuborcul*. sis. lie demonstrated this organism

in the infected tisrrae, grew it in culture nsdittn and reproduced the

disease by inf eting it in animals. M b has been called the Bacillus

To be able to combat this disease and to minimise its rsvago

we rsuat study the Tubercle Bacillus itself* We mist kno - its habits

multiplication, Taodia of its transmission*

The Bacillus of Tubereul sis is a gem that I t ro sisal 1 chat

The gem dries quickly under hig£ tempera uros usually 70

Direct sun’ s ra -s kill *\he trer* in a few minute* but the time

difxers depending whether the organs are in the putum or- on faces.

Fresh air is net favourable to its growth. This indicates the need

of large v?Indo * upsoc tc admit direct sim’ a rays in ever part of

In dark rooms the germ remains virulent for months. Juried

sputum retains their virulence (power tc cause disease) for several

Dear Sir,

1 regret that there has been such a delay in the final settlement of the balance on your salary. I had hopes that, when the church delegates returned from merica, there would be a School 3oard meeting, or personal enquiries on the part cf the delegatee about natters of the school that were left in my hands.I invited you to temporally membership of the teaching staff at iilberforoe in ocnsultation with, and with the pressing advice of, responsible and highly placed officials of the Churoh* However, so far none of them have wrrried themselves about suoh matters as, how your salary has been met.

Si sense of honour does not permit ae to keep you waiting any longer for the balanoe of your salary. I , therefore, suggest that you call at my consulting rooms on some convenient afternoon to recelvc the balanoe of your sal ry and I shall have to see the Bisho, when he arrives, about t*e settlement of the advances I made towards your salary and those of other teachers.

Yours faithfully.
