Main Creator: Henley, Pauline
Contributors: Cronin, Fred, 1876-
Summary:Writes: "... I am beginning this today with elections in full swing. You wouldn't know they were on, though it is a general holiday. There is a complete lack of interest or enthusiasm, as far as I could see. I have no vote here, as I took my University vote in preference .... There are all sorts of contradictory forecasts floating around today after the elections, but I think the Free State folk will get a working majority all right. I am praying that you may all be home soon, but sometimes I feel somewhat depressed at the result, or rather the want of result. Still there is no law against hoping. Results, part of them, might be known tonight (28th)...".
