Additional notes:
Copied from the book )published by Adams and Sons, Durban in 1908) by Walter Battiss in his cursive with a calligraphic cover.

Extract from Chapter LVIII - The 13th of January 1855.

Unfortunately several documents were attached to the cover with multiple pins (neither staples nor photocopies had been invented) and it is damaged as a result.

Together with two letters dated 1949, and a photograph relating to the work.
