Correspondence

Jemima Bleek's letter to her sisters Fanny and Lucy Lloyd on 28 February 1883 from Stellenbosch, where she has been visiting Richard and Kate Bright. The letter concerns Jemima's return train journey that Friday to Salt River - she does not need a travelling companion or someone else to meet her at the station. There is some discussion of the children not coming and the reasons given; also a reference to money matters in Mowbray.
