| Notes: | 27/2/1902: Edith CM Dickenson to CSRC: asking for news of her husband from whom she has heard nothing; I think she says he had been treated for DT; 'Col Armstorng, RAMC at Maritzburg told me that any one whose constitution had been wrecked as Dr Dickenson's has might die very suddenly. He told me he was really unfit for medical service and I blame myself for having [ . . . ?] to go to Bethulie.'
