We have been afraid of the Boers. We have lived beside them ever since they came into Transvaal. The country they occupy was once ours, but all our people have been driven from the land by reason of unjust laws and cruel acts of their masters ... We see how happy the people are whom your Majesty has conquered in Natal, Zululand, Basotholand, Pondoland... They live peaceably with the English. Their property is secured to them. They are paid for their services. The Courts protect them against injustice. None of these are enjoyed by the natives in the Transvaal. We therefore pray and implore Your Majesty to save us from destruction, which handing of us over the Boers will certainly mean.
