These documents and letters - which I have placed in chronological order, and taken excerpts from, but have not otherwise edited or changed in any way - can be found at the Pietermaritzburg Archives Repository.2 They comprise, in the main, correspondence between various officials from the offices of the Colonial Secretary, the Attorney General, the Minister of Justice and Public Works, and Dr James Hyslop, Medical Superintendent of the Natal Government Asylum from 1882 to 1913.
