A LETTER FROM AFRICA The following letter will explain itself: The Bata Shoe Store Murandy Square, Enterprise Road, Highlands, Salisbury, South Rhodesia, AFRICA. Dear Sir, I am an African boy of 23 years of age. As I heard of some interests in that country of New Zealand, I have decided to ask you if I can get in touch with some of the Maori people, who can do speak and write English. I am not also so good in English as I am not an English boy but an African black having black curly hair. I kindly ask you again if at all you have a paper which publish pen pals page in New Zealand to publish my request in there. My interests are of knowing far countries especially overseas and to write some other people of all races letters especially the Maoris as the people whom I am really interested in hearing from them. Sorry sir for your worries have done to you. Hoping to hear news of New Zealand soon through you sir, I am, sir, Yours faithfully, Lazarus M. Zishiri. Readers of Te Ao Hou are invited to correspond with Mr Zishiri.
