Correspondence

A letter in German from Wilhelm Bleek to his cousin Ernst Haeckel, sent from Cape Town on 4 August 1870. Bleek informs his cousin that he sent a Koranna skull two weeks earlier via geologist Mr Hübner and asks Haeckel to confirm its arrival through Bonn or Mrs Fisher (giving her London address). He enquires about the printing progress of his "African Fables" if Haeckel sees Bulow the printer. Bleek also reports on an opportunity to study Bushman language with 28 Bushmen.
