Correspondence

The first page of a draft letter from Wilhelm Bleek to Edwin Norris, dated 16 May 1868. Bleek writes that he has not heard from Norris in an "eternity", and Norris has probably not heard from him for a long time either. By chance he has that heard Norris' Cuneiform Dictionary is forthcoming. Bleek says he is "grammatically employed", working his way through South Africa, and that the second part of his "Comparative Grammar" is at press. The draft ends there.
