M.PRINSLOO.
SIR,-- I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated the 30th of last month.

I am surprised to see that you call yourself Commander-in-Chief.

By what right do you usurp that title?
You have no right to act as Commander-in-Chief.
I have the honour to be, C.R.DE WET, _Commander-in-Chief_.
Hardly had I written this letter before two men on horseback appeared.
They proved to be burghers sent by General Piet Fourie, who was with Prinsloo at the time of his surrender.

These burghers brought from Generals Fourie, Froneman, and from Commandant Hasebroek and others, a fuller report of the surrender of Prinsloo.

We learnt from the report that not all of the burghers had surrendered, but that, on the contrary, some two thousand had escaped.
