Notes:Nd [July 1902], B-B to CSRC: Asks for a return ticket to Cape Town. During our vaccination I inadvertently pricked myself and have been seedy ever since. Also fell over a tent peg during the gale on 20/6/1902, and got some peritonitis of the leg. Has been in the camp for over 10 months. Intend going up the coast for a sea trip, as my blood is quite out of order. 7/7/1902: CSRC to SRC, Aliwal North: Complaining this was not sent through the usual channels. Leave recommended.
