He made a very significant contribution to the establishment of Methodism in these parts, both spiritually and materially. The name is still being given to infants, only last year I baptised what must have been a great, great, great grandson of the venerable “John Edwards” by that name in John Edwards Hobson. Trusting that the print is up to standard required. The cost of the same is R10-. We had it done at a place call Reinet Studios here in Graaff-Reinet. Greetings [signed] Rev N.B. Kok.
