Notes:22/12/1902: Moore, Bloemfontein Hotel to CSRC: Asking for month's salary in lieu of holiday which he did not have. Reminds him, that in 17 months he has never been off duty; he is one of the oldest employees; he served through the dark days, when the work was terrible and roughing it the order of the day; men of much shorter service have not only had holidays but permits to travel free. Could not apply for holiday while at Kabusie since he was alone there and no one to relieve him for a month.
23/12/1902: Reply: Agreed.
[As much of the correspondence relates to his passage home, he appears not to have taken up the Rouxville post but returned to England.]
