Correspondence

A letter in German from Theodor Bleek (Wilhelm Bleek's brother) to his cousin Ernst Haeckel, dated 11 February 1876 from Lippstadt. Theodor thanks Haeckel for the proxy and his efforts with the "Bushman matter" (raising support amongst "friends of science" in Germany for the publication and continuation of Wilhelm Bleek's work after his death), though he doubts much will come of it there. He also shares the good news that Jemima gave birth to a daughter on 16 December.
