Heenan, has received from Mr A. F. Pienaar, president of the South African Rugby Board a letter stating that he was directed by his board to convey to the Rt Hon M. J. Savage, Prime Minister, on behalf of the Government of New Zealand, sincere thanks and appreciation of the board for the kindly gift of three volumes of Press clippings representing the story of the Springboks’ tour in New Zealand in 1937.
