Richardson 1925 - Eldoret - "We travel along 26 miles through somewhat English scenery, dropping to 6480 feet, and turn to the left where a board reads "A.H. Murrow"; we turn down this and meander along country lanes till we reach Murrow's farm where his manager points out Charlie White's house on the next hill 3/4 miles away and by 11 o'clock we have pulled up at 'Lindum' to find that C. White has gone into Kitale with Mrs Marshall who has been staying here for 3 days. We are now sitting and waiting. The house at 6350 commands an excellent view of Elgon, as it lies above the level of the plain. Charlie turned up at 1 o'clock with a Major Oxland and we had a long talk about this district. ……. Charlie has maize, coffee and wheat; the latter has been badly damaged by zebras which have caused a loss of £300. A lion killed a zebra a mile away last night; no one worries about lions for they run away; it is the tamer kind that does the damage. Charlie is ploughing up a 40 acre field and a team of oxen break 3/4 acre per day at a total cost of 3/- per acre. He finds oxen cheaper than tractors and Canadian farm implements better than English ……."

Richardson 1929 - Arusha - "Coming back from the Boma I said to Remi 'I wonder where my cousin Charlie White lives! When who should I run into but C.W. himself. He is manager to G. North & Sons of Durban, dealers in Agricultural implements. ……."
