If you want to better your future you must go abroad, where white men are at a premium.

By the mercy of Providence I met yesterday an old friend, Thomas Mackenzie, who was seeing his lawyer about an estate he is bidding for.

He is the head of one of the biggest trading and shipping concerns in the world--Mackenzie, Mure, and Oldmeadows--you may have heard the name.
Among other things he has half the stores in South Africa, where they sell everything from Bibles to fish-hooks.

Apparently they like men from home to manage the stores, and to make a long story short, when I put your case to him, he promised you a place.

I had a wire from him this morning confirming the offer.
