Written to tell Lucy Lloyd of his appointment as Grey Librarian by the Committee of the South African Public Library. He describes the house in New Street that he is considering renting, with a plan of its position adjacent to the Botanical Gardens, Museum and Grey Library. He also drew a plan of the house. In the course of describing the house he writes: “I should so like that we should be able to have our dear sisters here staying with us. “ From the letter it is clear that Lucy is planning to arrive in Cape Town from Natal ahead of Jemima who is on her way back from England, and Bleek is thankfully leaving all the planning of the wedding details to Lucy.
