On my return from South Africa I was interviewed by a representative of
_South Africa_. I had proposed to write on my voyage to England a
closing communication describing my visit to Natal and summarising my
views on the South African outlook generally. Unfortunately, I was
attacked with severe rheumatic pains shortly after the steamer left Cape
Town, and was not able to put pen to paper. I, however, gave the
representative of _South Africa_ the impressions I should have written
on the voyage, had circumstances permitted me to do so.
