A letter from Professor Percival Kirby at the University of the Witwatersrand to Dorothea Bleek, 22 June 1939, along with two pages from "Bushman, Hottentot and Griqua words and Expressions extracted from the Diary of Dr Andrew Smith (1834-1836)", including the title page. Kirby sends Dorothea two pages of "Bushman" words and names he has typed from the diary and wants her advice re their spelling, meaning and so on.
