;) ;) | Zululand correspondence (April 9, 1907) Fred Boyce letter mentions "many thanks for £90. I can assure you it will be most useful as every thing in the Colony is so bad. Although it is now eight months since the late rebellion we have not received any compensation. I am very much afraid there will be another row with the natives, if there is it will be a big affair. The native unrest is all owing to having incompetent men in charge of affairs. The natives have lost all faith in the Colonial Gov’t. I feel convinced that if the Colony were to revert to a Crown Colony (the only thing that will save Natal from utter ruin) the natives would be quite peaceful and contented. Natal is not fit financially or otherwise to have Self Gov’t. Tick fever is still rampant but I think some farmers have found a cure although the vet dept declared there was no cure". 17th letter correspondences of Fred Boyce and Lorraine Wilson Boyce JU 10 1905 - DE 11 1907 (none have outer covers). £60 |
;) | Zululand (correspondence January 1, 1907) Lorraine W. Boyce letter written "Durban" mentions "is there no possible way of raising money? Things here seem going from bad to worse and there is no saying what the end of the Asiatic affair will be. Zululand is still very unsettled – there are over 600 mounted men in the country trying to capture rebels, a great number of them are armed and are hiding in the dense bush". 15th letter correspondences of Fred Boyce and Lorraine Wilson Boyce JU 10 1905 - DE 11 1907 (none have outer covers). £80 |
;) ;) | Zululand correspondence (November 27, 1905 mentions Poll Tax leading to the BAMBATHA REBELLION Fred Boyce letter written Mangeni mentions "how pleased I will be to get the photos. I should like one of your Ian in uniform. The property on which we hold 4 claims each has been taken over by a developing syndicate. They intend going down 200 ft and if the reef is as good at that depth as it is at the surface they will float at once. The Poll Tax here has caused great dissatisfaction among all classes. The natives here have refused to pay. There may be trouble when the tax is collected (or tried to be collected rather). The natives have lost all confidence in the Govt which is rotten. Getting ready for a prospecting trip. Pegging off is the order of the day now in Zululand. Copper is all the rage". 8th letter correspondences of Fred Boyce and Lorraine Wilson Boyce JU 10 1905 - DE 11 1907 (none have outer covers). £150 |
