Notes: | 18/4/1902: Frew to CSRC: Writes to ask if he has any objections to his starting private practice in Kimberley in addition to camp work. Has decided to remain in this country and thinks he could do fairly well, either in Kimberley or Beaconsfield. At present there is very little work in the camp and not likely to increase. Then I would like to have an idea how I was going to get on in Kimberley by the time the camp has come to an end, and if I were not satisfied I could claim my passage home then.
