Correspondence

A draft [?] letter from Donald Moodie to the editor of an unnamed publication in response to a letter from "Ignoramus" querying an entry in the "Records". Moodie consults the "Records" for the year 1669 to confirm the entry's account. The letter quotes Wilhelm Bleek and refers to Moodie's "Voice" publication.
