There are certainly enough black men. Gosh, what a place. Outside of Johannesburg & Cape Town you can give it back to the blacks. I received a terrific sun burn on my arms. However they are O.K. at present. We leave today for Queens Town and then Port Elizabeth, after which we come to Durbin and a few more places before heading back to Joe burg. Then we go to Salsberry. Leaving for the States nite of the 27th of Mon. Do hope to see you on my return. I haven’t run into any of your girl friends. You must have been true. I’ll say so long for now. Please give Reg my love. Your friend Sam”. The letter has mailing folds and is in fine condition. The mailing envelope is included.
