Correspondence

A letter in German from Wilhelm Bleek to his cousin Ernst Haeckel, sent from Germany [?] on 24 September 1869. Bleek bids farewell as he prepares to leave for Plymouth, where he and his family will depart for the Cape on 10 October. He encloses a few ethnographic-style photographs (and stamps), noting some "strange" features of the subjects pictured. Bleek provides a London address for mail until 7 October. In a postscript, he informs Haeckel that his "African Fables" is being printed by Bulow[s?].
