What reading level is Letters From the Cape book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wages are enormous, and servants at famine price;emigrant ships are CLEARED OFF in three days, and every raggedIrish girl in place somewhere. Four pounds a month, and food forself, husband, and children, is no uncommon pay for a good cook;and after all her cookery may be poor enough. My landlady atCapetown gave that. The housemaid had ONLY 1l. 5s. A month, buttold me herself she had taken 8l. In one week in 'tips'. She wasan excellent servant. Up country here the wages are less, but thecomfort ...greater, and the chances of 'getting on' much increased. But I believe Algoa Bay or Grahamstown are by far the best fieldsfor new colonists, and (I am assured) the best climate for lungdiseases. The wealthy English merchants of Port Elizabeth (AlgoaBay) pay best. It seems to me, as far as I can learn, that everyreally WORKING man or woman can thrive here.
My German host at Houw Hoek came out twenty-three years ago, hetold me, without a 'heller', and is now the owner of cattle andland and horses to a large amount.
