Describing in detail the results of his "rather intensive" study of Afrikaans; outlining the advantages of the human observer in foreign settings; noting key points of difference between Eastern and Western lifestyles; developing a theory on two kinds of people ("people at the top of their organization and people near the bottom who are closely tied to ... policy"); highlighting "the distinguishing features" of his own observations and promoting his "angle"; hoping that subsequent letters will clear up doubts raised in this one; and furnishing a hand-drawn map comparing the surface area of South Africa with that of the United States.
