Correspondence

A letter from Wilhelm Bleek to Jemima Lloyd dated 18 November 1862 (7pm Tuesday). Wilhelm's pencil note again addresses the subject of the antenuptial contract and marriage settlement - what he terms their "tiresome legal business". After expressing his concern at hearing of Lucy's illness, he writes that he'd like to meet Jemima at half past nine [am?]; she must bring along any papers she has relating to her property so that a schedule of it can be appended to an antenuptial contract or marriage settlement. Wilhelm asks after Jemima's and Lucy's health (Lucy has been unwell) and reports on his own poorliness compared to the previous day.
