Letter from S.G. outlining three points on issues relating to the Treaty of Vereeniging: with reference to its terms, amnesty, 'the 3,000,000', and loans. The first point calls for an amnesty for all rebels punished during and after the [Boer] war, allowing all commandants to return from exile in Cape Colony and Natal, and for an act of conciliation from the government. The second point asks questions about the conditions attached to the 3,000,000 [free crown grant awarded to the Transvaal Colony]. How is it being distributed, and who qualifies? There are also details about the involvement of [Alfred] Milner, public servant and politician, in the arrangements. The third point asks about those who are not in a position to make claims, such as widows of the officers.
