Scope and content
The Bleeks are expecting “to return to the Cape on the steamer leaving England on the 10th October next. This is our present intention and what the doctor advises. Many thanks for your letters of July 3rd. You were quite right in keeping the Fulah Grammar, i.e. in not sending it after us. The MSS & papers you kindly sent, had of course to stay in England until our return there in the latter part of September. Many thanks, however, for them. I feel so very grieved that you have been so much suffering again, but trust that you have some recovered your strength.”
