Summary

A typed copy (unsigned) of Dorothea Bleek's letter to Professor Louis Maingard, 14 September 1935. Dorothea thanks Maingard for his detailed response to her query regarding her Bushman Dictionary, along with the return of a "fragment" she had sent. She addresses his advice on spelling, click symbols and placement of those used in other authors' work (e.g. Doke, Meinhof, Vedder, her aunt Lucy Lloyd and her father Wilhelm Bleek). Dorothea provides examples to illustrate her approach in the dictionary, including the ordering of letters/clicks and where to write references. She will write again if she has further questions.
