Summary

A letter from Joyce Ginn (née van der Riet) to Dorothea Bleek, 15 March 1939, regarding the publication of their Bushman painting copies in More Rock Paintings in South Africa. Ginn updates Dorothea on writing the texts for the plates, noting that recalling painting details was difficult since they did not make notes at the time. She contacted farmers in Oudtshoorn and Graaff-Reinet to confirm farm names, owners and changes. She describes challenges sorting out location information for a painting group in Oudtshoorn and hopes to hear back about a group in Graaff-Reinet.
