The Children = F-i Generation. 



There were seven children. I will describe them 

 in order of age. 



No. 1 is a daughter. " Her hair and nose are 

 unmistakably negroid. Her skin colour is like her 

 father's, but lighter. Her lips are not noticeably 

 negroid. She is very easy going and good tempered." 



Nos. 2 and 3. Both were daughters. " The skin 

 colour of both is indistinguishable from that of 

 ordinary English girls ; it is quite white. The hair 

 of both is typically European in form, there is no 

 trace of the negro crimp, and in both it is dark brown 

 in colour. The two girls are very beautiful and 

 have married Eyiropeans, both of them officers in 

 the Army." 



No. 4 is a son. He was not seen by Colonel 

 H. de H. Haig, but he is known to have both skin 

 colour and negro hair like the brother next to be 

 described. 



No. 5 is a son. " He had negro hair ; the skin 

 colour was like his father's but lighter, though darker 

 than that of his eldest sister." 



In addition there are two other daughters whom 

 my correspondent has not seen. One of these is 

 married, but it is not known if she has children.

 a family. One has a son and a very pretty daughter,
