Bleek thanks Lucy for the letters and parcels she sent that have reached them at Bonn. With reference to Mr. Sanderson, Bleek confirms her decision to leave the money invested as it is. “He might make matters worse, but
request him in case any mortgage should be paid up, by desire of the mortgagee, to put the money into the bank until he hears from you, and not to make any fresh arrangements.” Among other matters Bleek writes: “. . . the box with photographs has safely arrived. . . . The photographs you sent are capital. I have not yet had time to look carefully at the descriptions of the MSS, but I shall do so in time. I think you must have omitted one sheet, viz. the beginning of the third shelf in case n, but that does not matter. Many thanks for all you have done. It’s very useful and people are much astonished at what we have.”
