At long , long , last I ha ve been a ble to track down · y our real address in Jama ica, wher e y ou seem to have disa eared completely , in such pleasant surround ings , that London is just a fo g to you now! How is life treating you and yours? Are you completely settled now in Jama ica or is there any chance that you may pop up suddenly in London, in the not too distant future; that is before the end of July when I return to Canada with my f amily, due to the comple te reor ganisation of our Committe e . Most of our work concerning the planning and production of Christia n literature for Africa is now in the care of Churches and Mi ss ions in Africa , as it should be , in view of the very quick development andmovement to inde pendance . The Conference of British Mi s s ionary Societies has undertaken t he continuance of BOOKS FOR AFR ICA, AFR IC. N FEATURES , as well as the distribution of a nnual grants to Litera ture Committees in Africa, in coopera tion with our friends in North America and on the Continent . For the time being I have no rea l job, # just trying to tidy up the work, while preparing a final report, tryine to sum up what I have s ee n and learne d in this field of work in Afr ic a (a copy will be sent to you sometime n ext month I h ope). ii /p-f <':r,.,.""'(F •-/., ,✓-. ; I have just returned fr om a most interesting twelve day tri in Belgium and Germany. While i n Hamburg by the way I met a most interesting Afr ican from Ta nganyika, brother of ~ Sultan , who has b een for ma ny years the Social Development Assistant a t Lushoto , where h e edited t he local paper which he enlarged a nd transformed. On his return he is likely to work in clos e cooperation with the Litera ture Committee of the Christian Council in his country . Being r ather rushe d for time I won ' t say a nything more now, except to l et you know that we ha ve not forgotten you a t a ll. As a ma tter of fact I have had occasion to us e part of your address at our Silver Jubilee dinner quite o f ten. I should l ove to k now how y ou and your f amily a re getting on in J amaica . I read, of course, your last book on that fair i s land , not without problems of course , and wonder what kind of book you a re pre paring now?

Where a r e you and how are y ou? Have you lost all powers of communication?

That is why I hope thi s will eventually reach you and that you will find time to send me a note. By the way , it is a pity that you left so quickly , for, for once the Mar ga r et Wrong Memorial. Pr i ze co mmittee receive d quite an outstanding entry - a collection of poems which is really good. While the quality i s certainly uneven there are certainly many points of re a l genius in them and I ho p e that by some means it may be possible to publish the book, probably not in its entirety but at leas t so me of the p oems. Excuse me for no t saying more just now , but I am also behind in my work and my mail; but I hope this will re -- op en our talks.

Both you and Georce Houser seem convinced that a bloodbath is inevitable, and I am bound to admit that by ordinary recMoninc it is hichly proQable. lru.t since i returned from the recent conference called by the Interdenominational AfrieaJ!l Ministers• Federation I have become more hopeful that a bloodless turn of the tide may be nearer than we think. It is too early for much comment, but the essense of it is 'who can rise to the challence thrown out?•. Much as I re�ret to say it, I am bo,md to admit that it does not appear that the forces of or�an.ized ' . ' religion wiil play the p� they could - but even in this reala miracles may happea. MyJnly real criticia is that the last three lines of the first parae;raph of your enswer to questi�a 11 does not seem to me to accord with the facts. Personally I am amzed to see how little extreme .African nationali1111 (�- there is in this count17, l.:llld fru.kly I believe that the number who think ill terms of majority and minority richts are very few. Recently I was in Durbaa attend.inc a stua.y ·croup on the Tomlinson report arranced by the .ANC. News was let out that the Non-European Unity Movement people were proposine; to hold a meetin� on Swlday afternoon so I decided to �o and hear what they had to say - I went, but heard nothint because the aeetinc was broken up. Apart from a possible small area in the Cape NEUM 9 which also means the AJ.e ) counts for virtually nothiat; - at least that is my impression. How lon� it will remain so depends once at:ain on whether those who could control and �ide the bloodless revolution will have courage and vision to do so.

We have one at Farnham next February for pe ople going to East and West Africa and I want to have a session first t hing in the morning of the 6th on Nationalism and Race in West Africa. I wonder if you would be so kind as to conduct t his f or us by giving a talk of about 45 minutes and then dealing with a s:i.l'nilar period of questions and discussion that will arise. I think I have seen a report somewhere of your in­ tention to go to the West Indies, I do hope t hat your intention will not be effective before February and that it will be pos­ sible for you to come and give your quite invaluable help in the way I request.

Abrahams, cfJ. 4-0255 I read so far 4 of your books, and feel a deep urge to try to put into words what they made me feel, and how ~ I was impressed by them . After "Mine Boy" , A Wreath for Udomo" , the Zulu-Boer war (forgot the name) I read "Path of Thunder" . The latter one stirred me a great deal . It did not talk to me about the suffering of African people alone , the suffering of my people throughout centuries were express­ ed and condemned ·ust as w 1 . w 1'1;./L, Wt½ Cv:5 As a daugh er to a nation of whom half of its sons were ex­ terminated in the most incomprehensible way , I do understand v ecy well of what you write in your books . I condemn discriminating between human beings for any reason whatsoever , and hope with all my heart t hat the solution to the South African tragedy will come soon . May I a lso approve of your approach to the Jewish problem. Having studied Jewish history and being an Israeli I realize that a nation cannot exist without its land . Living now in the United­ States only emphasizes my conviction . Your books aroused in me a profound interest in Africa . I have the feeling now , after reading only 4 of your books , that I acquired some knowledge of many- faceted Africa . Your books familiarized me with the history and various political problems of the vast conti­ nent . I am very stimulated now to know more . I want to thank you sincerely for the hours of elevation and elation that your books gave me . Every word, ev ery page unfolds so much more than is expre9sed . The pages are swallowed by the reader with thirst . I found it impossible to put the book down before finishing it . Your b ooks tell about human kindness and human atroc ities , and yet they all end up with the message of hope . I was mostly touched by the unusual great figure of Sam: Samuel du Plessis. Is not his twisted body a symptom of the twisted morals of people? I could not help thinking about him (and Lanny - his successor) for a very long time . In fact when his mere name comes to my mind - the whole picture comes back to life again . May I say that I found ev ery single character in all of your books very interesting . UWI L ibr ari es ciJ 4-0255 - 2 - When I read n owadays about the Apartheid policy , which madly tri es to postpone the inevitable end by getting more and more extreme ~ I cannot help raging with fury . The solution must come as soon as possible , either in the way " Mako " proposes it or quietiw . Fo r how can people stand this rediculous situation any longer? Of course it hurts s o much to witness that the different African groups do not see the wrongness of n ot being united . Your very great books , Mr . Abrahams , undoubtedly contribute a great deal towards achieving the desired solution . I am sure and know that they cannot leave people all over the world indifferent to these problems , and will open their eyes t o see similar situations among themselv es . P.S . Sincerely a nd respectfully , u -oo·ev Mrs . Ruth Beizer .) I am sure that your books impress ~e so much not only because I am 24 years old . \,,;;}j.Jj,,,/ Pl ease excuse my language.
