6. Special Brief Report on Coogress work in Natal by the Provincali. President, A .J . Lutuli. It really touches on the raain
Report on it««s reported on the main report but deals ~ore specl.i- cally with work in Northern District of Natal.
7. We apologise for our failure to submit regularly reports
throughout the year.
We are not passing the buck but we must point out that our branches are slack in reporting to us. Unless we visit them we do not generally get to know about them until at Annual Provincial C nferences.
In this current year we hope to experiment with a system of having branches give us Quarterly Returns by filling speiial stencilled forms calling for important organisational data.
Convey our greetings to our National Execut ve and to our sister provinces.
Yours for Afrika,

W. Cor.cn,
UMZI.VKULU.
Jear Zamindlela,
I have not written to jr,u for a long tine, and when there iB nothing uuch
to write about it is perhaps not quite worth while to do lo, yet I have felt
for some time the need of exchanging ideas ar.d of giving you my impressions
especially now that I as not near the centre of the struggle an^sorj# of
my own impressions would therefore have the benefit of objectivity, although
they will of necessity net take into account many currants, and huuan forces
that go to make political decisions.
Some time in May I had a letter from Archie, and I was very pleased
with the enthusiasm he is showing in the liberatory movement, and it appeared
to me that he was even organisationally making very eaod headway. I must say
that it would ^>pear to me that we are at last going to get Maritzburg
really playing its Dart in the Natal political set-up. ®he most pleasing news
however was the one * got frcJm our friend Stalwart. He is no doubt shaping up
wonderfully, and the amount of work he is putting in makes sou® of us blush
with thame when we cannot account for a single branch cf Congress organised.
He told me that you are making arran^aments to go to the Congress of the
People Conference in June 26, and asked me to lodge our local demands with him, and this I am doing.
Now I do not know how the organisational set-up of the C .O .P . is
at the moment, and whether the A .S .C ., will be able to give a lead all the
time, and not allow itself to be conproaiiai by other members of the C .C .P .
Again I feel that we should be careful nct^to allow the C.O.P to be used as
platform for any other cant aigc other thatr\ne drafting of the Charter of Freedom.
Thar* will be sections that will do much in their pcwer to have the C.O.P Jbecome a permanent body that will co-:>*dinate the activities of the various mKieu.bers of the C .C .P . We are not yet ready fjr such a W>dy, ana in *>ny event
our co-ordinatinn at committee level which exists at the moment is the best
at the prasent acm-nt. With Chief Luthuli and myself away it will mean that
you and Stalwart will have to be our chief spokesman, and I want to say that I
have every confidence that you will discharge yo-r duties with merit'.
I had also thou^.t of this ,:rreat day, June 1:6, and I hy? felt that
it was a very special cay, anu h*.u. decic*»d tiiat it woui~ be a fitting m*aory
to it i,: X hela the first meeting of t. e A .H .C . in our district. 1 hope that

after this date, Congress w ill become permanently established in my ??s£rict.
As I had Indicated to you when you were here with VKi*l, it is not quit#
easy here to organise Congress, so, I a* sandwiching a lot of other local
issues. I am for Instance organising a Peasants Association, *d\ich will look
after the overall interests of the district, and from this I hope to get
a farmers co-operative, and J hope that all these will as individual* join
Congress. I have filed aj application with the Mapuraulo Traders Association,
and I hope that I will use my Influence with members of this important
body to make them conscious of thetr oppression, for our trouble in the
rural araas, oppression taJcts tha Boat insidious fora, nanifasting itsalf o^ly
in poverty, malnutrition, and land hunger. Here passes althou^i existing do not
show themselves harshly as they do in towns, even housing bad as it is is not a
real problem, that you could arouse the people on.
1 hare not seen, our leader sines, and I <114 ntt tell hi* why I fslt it
eo important that we should meet nore often, 1 havs thought I should use him
to write some book on the political situation in our country. When you next see
him would you also impress upon him that an appointment should be made soon
between us, do not tell him the main purpose,
I might have said i t before, but let me express “V deepest appreciation
here, of your very helpful assistancs that you havs at various times given
to ms. In relations I think I have been very lucky. to have found vsgry
sincere men to wrok with, and whilst 1 am very much struck by the quantity
of the amount, it is more the s i n c e r i t y with which it is given that struck me
most. I was very unfortunate in my exams, I got them late, and I failed. I
have again to do not the same courses but an entirely new sst altogether, as the
old s y l l a b u s was abolished last year, even the degree has been alightly changed.
1 have to present Business Iconomics II I and Industrial Psychology I I now.
I propose to write theee next year, and try and concentrate on my three law
courses this year, besides I have too many irons on firs just now, there is tha
house, the divorce and possibly marriage, early or mid next year. By the way
did we tell you that you will be one of the Balrhongi, Swart still willing to allow
you outside your district.7 There might be a wave of bankings after the C .O .P
conference you know.
Give my kindest regards to Shimie, and the children.
To
I'wrote to Gatsha about the Kdlunkulu affair , 1 will inform you further developments
