- Notes:
- The letters have been arranged in chronological order by the cataloguer. They were found in a box file labelled ‘S. Africa 1900’ [in Mary Arnold-Forster handwriting] and kept together by the cataloguer. Only one letter, from James Craig to Mary regarding an anecdote to use in her biography of Oakeley, 9 October 1909, was removed and added to Add MS 89170/3/3. Very likely, the box was put together by Mary for her book 'The Right Honourable Hugh Oakeley Arnold-Forster: A Memoir', 1910.
