...last week China had written 26 "surrender" letters to Mau Mau chieftains, including "General Cargo," who operates north of Nairobi, and scar-faced Dedan Kimathi, alias Field Marshal Russia. The letters were delivered by armored cars to jungle letter boxes in hollow trees and to Mau Mau couriers waiting in forest clearings.

The necessity of keeping painters working indoors during the winter months was the reason, they explained. There was little point in taking the last exam. So he left a forwarding address, and departed for Mexico to get his education among the natives in an unpainted adobe...
