I am working for a film production company in Cape Town. We are currently filming a show about the Karoo and I came across your work whilst doing some research. Would it be possible to chat to you about some of the wonderful interesting places that you have written about in the Karoo? We are looking for interesting places, and people and intriguing stories in the Karoo. So far we have visited Cranemere Farm near Graaff-Reneit, Calvinia, and in the next few days we will be traveling to Jansenville. Do you by any chance have any suggestions of places we could possibly visit in the Nama Karoo? We are a very small crew and do not intrude on the people we meet and the places we go. We have a deep love and appreciation for this unique and vast area of South Africa and are wanting to show its beauty and diversity.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. I have just ordered your Karoo recipe book because one of the main aspects of this show is the delicious food! Cant wait to receive it.

I used ti be great friends with Edith Bowen, who was a rose and got some good information from her. I may also have details of someone else who is looking into that family – will check my notes and some back to you. all the best, Kindest regsards Rose

My GreatUncle Max Rose, and his brother’s are so much apart of the Karoo.
I would like to do more research about Max and his part in the South African history. Can you please direct me as to any way to start, Maybe your favorite history book?
thank you,
Jane

Will have to reply in English, for others…….
I enjoyed to read more about yourself above !
It’s Saturday afternoon here in New Zealand and the Karoo brings back beautiful memories and lekker boerewors in Graaff-Reinet when staying over from Johannesburg to Struisbaai & L’Agulhas during the time I worked for Sasol in JHB.
All the best & vriendelike groete
Andries Maritz.

This is a wonderful story and I will use something about it in my Newsletter to see if I can find out more information for you. Sadly all Beaufort West’s historical information was washed away in the 1941 flood which I have just written about in my blog yesterday. Will keep you informed if I find anything. Please also keep in touch if you find anything
All the best
Kindest regards
Rose

I have a copy of a letter that Charles H. Crane wrote to Mark Twain in June 1901, inviting him to write an article, apparently for the new EXAMINER. Mark Twain left a note indicating that he planned to answer Crane’s letter, but I can find no record that he actually did so. Perhaps a letter from him to Crane has been preserved somewhere, and his correspondence with Crane was at least mentioned in one of the BWPP newspapers. If you can help or direct me to someone who can, I will be obliged. Thanks.

Could you please put the gps points in the article? This will enable us to see the koppie or whatever on Google earth. Sometimes it is difficult to orientate oneself in this vast Karoo!
