Miscellaneous article on the same page:

Referring to the purchase of the letters stolen from Mr. Hawksley, a correspondent of the Cape Argus says: “It may be interesting to the public to know that Dr. Leyde’s emissaries also made an effort to purchase the startling documents which are reproduced in the pamphlet “Kruger and Co., Limited,’ lately published here. In this case, too, the sum offered was £100, which was declined. Needless to say that in the documents last referred to it is not the Colonial Office, but Dr. Leyde and some of his friends who are directly implicated. Might not Dr. Leyde do worse than emulate the example of Mr. Chamberlain, and put himself straight (if he can) before the world?”
