1.1 Three newspaper clippings about Nathaniel Isaacs, a cousin of Saul Solomon and Henry Solomon.
Entitled "In the days of Chaka, diary revelations". Cuttings from the Natal Mercury.- 7.7.1927.
Nathaniel Isaacs was in Natal in the 1820's and these cuttings are a resume of his published diary.

1.3 Rev. Dr. James Cameron : In Memoriam - Alfred Lord Tennyson. Address in New Church, Sea Point, 9.X.1892. Printed in Cape Town by Murry and St. Leger, 1892. 9pp.
Dr. Cameron married Ellen Solomon, a daughter of Henry Solomon (and a sister of Mrs. John Brown). On this copy he has written "For my dear Ray, 17.X.1892. J.C.", and on a slip tipped in inside the cover: Ray Brown, from a very old friend of her mother's. 17.VIII.1890". Clearly the latter was written on another occasion before publication of this booklet and later inserted in it.
