Hertzog, which appears later on under the proposal of H. P. J. Pretorius and C. Botha.
A third proposal by General E. Botha and General J. C. Celliers was laid upon the table, but
subsequently withdrawn.
Mr. J. W. Reitz considered it to be his duty not only to the nation but also to himself as a citizen, to
say that, in case the proposal of the British Government should be accepted, it would be necessary for
the meeting to make provisions as to whose signatures should be attached to the necessary documents.

South African Republic remained in the tent in which the meeting was held.
After a time of heated dispute—for every man was preparing himself for the bitter end—they came to
an agreement, and Judge Hertzog read the following proposal :—

considered the proposal made by His Majesty’s Government in connexion with the conclusion of the
existing hostilities, and their communication that this proposal had to be accepted, or rejected,
unaltered. We are sorry that His Majesty’s
