It was written in the heart of Matabele-, land, 500 miles from the coast, and was taken by a native courier 30 milea to ' Buluwayo to be posted.

The head of this force ia John Hays Hammond of San Fran 'cisco, a cousin of A. R. Hammond, in whose care Mr. Mason a mail waa to be sent. It seems probable that A. R.
