|
Moshesh or Moshoeshoe (c. 1786-1870), Chief of the Basuto, agreed a treaty in 1843 that created Basutoland as a native state under British protection.
Sir Theophilius Shepstone (1817-1893) was Secretary for Native Affairs, Natal.
Robert William Keate (1814-1873) was Lieutenant-Governor of Natal, 1867-1872.
Two letters signed and sealed by Chief Moshesh, with undated typescript and negative photostat copies. The letters were probably written for Moshesh by a European advisor.
Presented by Morton Green, J.P.
