Scope and content
Bleek began his letter of January 6 and completed it “Thursday 7th a.m.” Jemima is at Kalk Bay with her eldest sister Fanny Lloyd for health reasons (Bleek is concerned about her back). Edith (28 months) is at home in Mowbray. The “South East weather has set in, which will probably be followed by very hot weather” and he wants them to stay at
least a week longer to enjoy the sea bathing before he sends Schreuder’s carriage for them.
