Correspondence

An extract from a letter by Philip Bleek, written in Argentina on 28 December 1859. He reports making book and manuscript enquiries for Wilhelm Bleek (and the Cape Governor) while travelling, including in New York and Saladero de Burgos, where books were scarce. A manuscript list on North American native languages, given by Wilhelm, was lost after being lent to Deghnee and then to Dr Ludwig, who died with it in his library, which was sold. Philip will try to recover it via Deghnee. He also describes a book catalogue in the library of Baron von der Gabelentz.
