She is accused in the local press of being his paid publicist, 8 Aug 1900
  55. (fols. 73-75) letter informing Hawksley that [Lewis] Michell, to whom she read her diary, doubts her ability to remember conversations and her friendship with Salisbury; that Rhodes's prestige grows as the ministry's wanes; and that D.C. de Waal is urging him to attend Parliament.

  58. (fol. 79) letter from the Princess to Sir Alfred Milner expressing her pleasure that their misunderstanding [over what he said to Rhodes about her] has been cleared up; she will always defend his policy as long as he continues with Rhodes (copy originally an enclosure to fol. 88, but bound here in error), 5 Sep 1900

  61. (fol. 86) letter from Stead to Hawksley intended to accompany a communication from the Princess and a letter from [Jas] Armstrong, who has talked with Hofmeyr (see MSS. Afr. s. 229/VI/B-G, fols. 120-126, 176-182), 10 Sep 1900
  62. (fol. 87) letter to Hawksley enclosing and commenting on fols. 81-84 and reiterating that now is the chance for Rhodes to become Premier if he eschews the League, 11 Sep 1900

  67. (fol. 97) letter from the Princess to Hawksley who has cabled her to tell Rhodes everything in confidence. She doubts if she will be permitted to; it depends on the state of Rhodes temper; also, Lady Edward Cecil has influence over Jameson. She comments unfavourably on Lady Edward, 2 Oct 1900
  68. (fols. 98-99) letter to Hawksley, sent to Mr Wilmot: Rhodes is going to speak at the League meeting. She sent her Bond friends [J.?] Sonnenberg and [W.?] Hill to see him and has made an appointment to see him herself on the strength of Hawksley's message, 9 Oct 1900
  69. (fol. 100) letter informing Hawksley that she has had a long conversation with Rhodes, whose manner to her is strange, though he has promised to come and read her diary. His speech to the League has roused Bond hostility. She is thinking of marrying again, 16 Oct 1900
  70. (fols. 101-102) letter thanking Hawksley for his kindness to her son. Rhodes snubbed her over the diary so she sent it to him via Mrs Scholtz, who can manage him. His political prospects continue to improve, but he says foolish things, 27 Oct 1900

  73. (fols. 105-106) letter thanking Hawksley for assistance to her son: 'Our little plan is working though our friend shuns me' - i.e., Rhodes will take the Premiership if offered. It would be a mistake for him to go to Europe now, 13 Nov 1900
  74. (fols. 107-108) letter from the Princess to Rhodes urging him to take the Premiership: he could summon a working majority now and knows the Imperial government will support him. This step would lead to the Federal Premiership (copy enclosed in fols. 105-106), 13 Nov 1900
  75. (fol. 109) letter to Hawksley intended to accompany a copy of a kind note from Rhodes, which surprised her: she is using Mrs Scholtz as an intermediary. She reports on D.C. de Waal's interview with Rhodes, 17 Nov 1900
  76. (fol. 110) letter informing Hawksley that her son has arrived; Milner has seen Rhodes several times and reports say he wishes him to be Premier; Rhodes has mentioned her diary indirectly to Mrs Scholtz; she has decided not to marry again, 21 Nov 1900

  78. (fols. 112-115) letter [from the Princess] thanking Lord Salisbury for a letter dated 8 Nov, explaining why she has not told Rhodes of their conversation; commenting on local political affairs; and expressing the hope that Rhodes will not miss his moment to return to power; with a criticism of Lord Lansdowne's appointment to the Foreign Office (copy), 27 Nov 1900
  79. (fols. 116-117) letter to Rhodes enclosing a copy of the letter [from the Princess] thanking Lord Salisbury (fols. 112-115), and urging Rhodes not to disregard Hofmeyr's overtures (copy), 27 Nov 1900
  80. (fol. 118) letter to Hawksley intended to accompany a copy of a letter from Rhodes declining to express an opinion on her letter to Salisbury (see MSS. Afr. s. 229/VI/B-G, fol. 119), 28 Nov 1900
  81. (fol. 119) letter to Hawksley quoting a letter allegedly received from Salisbury, who thinks the time has come for Rhodes to assert himself; and telling him of Rhodes's kindness to her son despite his rudeness to herself, 29 Nov 1900
  82. (fols. 120-122) letter telling Hawksley that her relation with Rhodes have deteriorated and that even the Scholtzes find him difficult; with a postscript saying she has since received a note from Jourdan explaining that Rhodes is in bad health. The political situation is grave, and she thinks Rhodes is waiting for it to get worse before stepping forward as saviour, 4 Dec 1900
  83. (fol. 123) letter from Prince W. [Nicholas] Radziwill, the Princess's eldest son, to Hawksley describing his voyage out, his visits to Groote Schuur, and Rhodes's kindness to him, 11 Dec 1900
  84. (fol. 124) letter from Constance R. [Barniwall?] sending Hawksley a newspaper cutting about Princess Radziwill at Stead's request, 11 Dec 1900
  85. (fol. 125) letter from the Princess telling Hawksley that relations with Rhodes are still strained, though he is kind to her son; deploring the effects of Chamberlain's speech; and alleging that Eckstein is hostile to Rhodes, 11 Dec 1900
  86. (fols. 126-127) letter telling Hawksley that she has made it up with Rhodes, who is employing her son in his dynamite factory; that Milner is coping well with the spreading rebellion and not being panicked by the 'Jingoes'; and that Rhodes continues to hang back, though De Waal says many Dutch would support him. She criticises Chamberlain, wishes Rosebery would step in, and explains her decision not to marry, 25 Dec 1900
  87. (fol. 128) letter from Stead asking Hawksley how his interview with Rosebery went, and commenting on the swings in Rhodes's temper, which are new. He has written taxing the Princess with her lie (see fols. 140, 142, and MSS. Afr. s. 229/VI/B-G, 187-188), 29 Dec 1900
  88. (fols. 129-133) 'Dream of South African Politics -- Unification of English and Dutch': manuscript notes (not in the Princess's hand) on City Club writing paper, analysing possible political combinations and the character of leading politicians, n.d.
  89. (fols. 134-136) two letters to Hawksley: she has been ill; her post is being tampered with; she is now on good terms with Rhodes, who thought her reply to Salisbury tactful; she is convinced Milner, like De Waal, wants him as Premier, but Sprigg will not make way, 2 Jan 1901
  90. (fols. 137-139) letter to Hawksley describing her present relations with Rhodes, who talks politics to her now that she keeps off them. She is starting a press campaign to force him to come forward. The situation is bad and the capitalists desperate, 8 Jan 1901
  91. (fol. 140) letter to Hawksley replying to accusations by Stead that she has lied [in her reply to Salisbury's alleged letter? see fol. 142] and maintaining that results have proved her right. She is on good terms with Rhodes and now understands that if he is working to achieve a settlement, he did not wish to appear influenced by Salisbury, 17 Jan 1901
  92. (fol. 141) letter from Stead to Hawksley: he has seen [General] Brocklehurst, told [Alfred] Lyttelton why he wants Chamberlain's head on a charger, and doubts press reports that [J.X.] Merriman has been charged by the Bond to persuade Kruger to agree to annexation if followed by Federation, 22 Jan 1901
  93. (fols. 142-143) letter telling Hawksley that Rhodes, with whom she is on good terms, is working for federation like Milner, but the latter's approach is sounder, and she thinks him the only man who can cope with the present crisis and the dissatisfaction of the English colonists. She justifies the lie she told in her reply to Salisbury's alleged letter, 27 Feb 1901
  94. (fols. 144-145) letter telling Hawksley that Rhodes, whom she sees often, is working to build up a majority, but she fears he is trying to be too clever and wishes he had a longer life ahead. The problem is getting rid of Sprigg. She and Milner are great friends. The English colonists are restive, 13 Mar 1901
  95. (fols. 146-150) letter to Stead describing a difficult lunch with Rhodes, whom she hopes will be called to office in an impending ministerial reconstruction; she retains her faith in him, though he is always surrounded by sycophants. She repeats criticisms of Chamberlain; hopes that Rhodes and Merriman will work together; asks Stead to find her a correspondent for the paper she is starting; and recounts a conversation in which Jameson told her that Stead thought her perfection, 14 Mar 1901
  96. (fol. 151) (bound out of chronological sequence) letter from Stead to Hawksley about Miss Forde, described as 'the one woman in the world whom Rhodes has shown a desire to help.' Stead hopes to see Rhodes unless, like Milner, Rhodes fears a meeting will be misconstrued (see MSS. Afr. s. 229/VI/B-G, fol. 292), 19 Jul 1901
  97. (fol. 152) letter from the Princess to Hawksley lamenting the failure of peace negotiations and apparent double-dealing by Rhodes, which must not be communicated to Stead, 18 Mar 1901
  98. (fols. 153-154) letter to Stead about the failure of peace negotiations and help for her paper, which Rhodes will not like as he cannot stand criticism. Her relations with him have never been better, though she often wonders what he really intends doing, 18 Mar 1901
  99. (fols. 155-160) letter telling Hawksley of Cape interest in the Markham case and general disillusionment with the imperial government, and asking his opinion of her article, 'The Situation in South Africa', in the The Contemporary Review. She thinks Rhodes is sounding out what sort of reception he would receive in England, and fears that support will drop away in his absence, 22 Mar 1900
  100. (fols. 161-162) letter asking Stead what he thinks of her article, and if he has found contributors for her paper. Rhodes has gone to Kimberley: she does not know his plans, but a visit to England would be badly received at the Cape, 26 Mar 1901
  101. (fols. 163-167) letter to Hawksley alleging that Mrs Scholtz has behaved badly; welcoming the news that Rutherfoord Harris, who has done so much to harm Rhodes, has been unseated; speculating about Rhodes's future movements; and lamenting the continuance of the war; with a reference, inter alia, to the appointment of Saxon Mills as Editor of The Cape Times, 20 Apr 1901
  102. (fols. 168-169) covering letters from Stead to Hawksley forwarding letters from Princess Radziwill to himself, 12-16 Apr 1901
  103. (fols. 170-175) letter lamenting the failure of peace negotiations, for which she blames Chamberlain, who she fears will throw Milner over: she thinks the latter has learnt from his experiences. She fears the present disillusionment with Britain will lead to a movement for independence. Rhodes, the only man who could solve the crisis, is too insulated from reality by the sycophants surrounding him. She welcomes the sentence imposed on [Albert] Cartwright, Editor of the [South African] News, 23 Apr 1901
  104. (fol. 176) letter from Stead, who wishes to show Hawksley a letter from the Princess, and refers to talks with Hawkin, Secretary of the 80 Club, and [J.W.?] Sauer about the Jameson Raid, 3 May 1901
  105. (fol. 177) letter from the Editor, The Review of the Week, to Hawksley introducing Sabine, the Review's advertising agent, with a reference to Princess Radziwill's article, 5 May 1901
  106. (fol. 178) letter from Morris Colles, the Author's Syndicate, about 'a financial letter' mentioned by the Princess in connection with contributions he is sending for her paper [Greater Britain], 6 May 1901
  107. (fols. 179-182) letter from the Princess reproaching Hawksley for neglecting her (and Stead) while conducting legal actions on behalf of Harris and Wernher Beit & Company. She is gloomy about the war, feels the York's visit is ill-timed, and that Rhodes, who could if he wished resolve the crisis by forcing Sprigg to retire and taking over as Premier, is no longer the man he was - not because of drink, as is rumoured, but because of heart trouble, though his letters to her from Kimberley are encouraging. She speculates about his future movements, and about Milner's reception in London, and denounces Chamberlain, 27 May 1901
  108. (fols. 183-184) letter sending Hawksley the first number of Greater Britain and speculating on Rhodes's reception of her criticism of his Bulawayo speech, and on his future plans, 24 Jun 1901
  109. (fol. 185) letter from Stead to Hawksley mentioning a rumour that J.B. Robinson is considering heading a movement for independence of the British flag and has declared Chamberlain worse for the Rand than Kruger, 21 Jun 1901
  110. (fols. 186-193) letter from the Princess thanking Stead for a contribution to Greater Britain and outlining her objectives for it. She describes dinner at Government House with the Hely-Hutchinsons, of whom she approves. Rhodes is at Bulawayo and unlikely to go to London; she is sure he will scotch the movement for the suspension of the constitution, and criticises the Editor of The Cape Times for encouraging agitation in favour of it. In a long postscript, she recounts instances of precognitive dreams experienced by herself and members of her family, 4 Jun 1901
  111. (fols. 194-195) letter from Merriman counselling Stead not to ride two horses at once - 'Rhodes and freedom are incompatible terms'; sent by Stead to Hawksley with a covering note, 22 Jun 1901.

Additional Description

Arrangement

Throughout both volumes (MSS. Afr. s. 229/VI/A, H and MSS. Afr. s. 229/VI/B-G), the original categories and title pages were preserved in binding, and are listed accordingly. The foliation already existing in Volume I does not always relate to the number of pages. Although this could not be altered, Volume 2, hitherto unfoliated, has been foliated by the normal method. The convoluted nature of the Princess's letters, handwriting, and activities has made it necessary to list these papers in some detail.

MSS. Afr. s. 229/VI/H was bound here in error. Fols. 148-149 were omitted in foliation.
