Correspondence

A letter [copy?] from Dorothea Bleek to Methuen & Co. Ltd, 7 February 1941. Dorothea has received Methuen's letters of 5 September - one enclosing the bill of lading for her case of original "drawings" for "More Rock Paintings in South Africa" and the other an invoice. She has heard from the agents of the Bullard King Line that the steamer and its cargo were lost and encloses its certificate to that effect. She would like Methuen to claim the insurance money and hopes she can be paid in SA so she can get those paintings not reproduced in the book recopied at once.
