Ust a word to the reader. The greater part of J my Story was written in prison. One feels then more keenly and poignantly, and suffers more acutely. I have given vent to such feelings, and this will account for many seemingly hard words. Will the kind reader please remember this Now that I am free I cherish no hard thoughts; I have forgotten all indignity heaped upon me. To pacify, to conciliate the genuine Boer, whom I love and respect, I would do anything. My ardent desire is that he, too, soon may experience the inestimable advantages of a beneficent British rule, as we all do in the Cape Colony. What a grand, happy country South Africa then will be — the brightest jewel in our gracious sovereign's crown. May I live to see my dream realised I.
