Correspondence

A letter from Molly van der Riet to Dorothea Bleek, 20 May 1939, concerning the publication of their Bushman painting copies in "More Rock Paintings in South Africa". Van der Riet apologises for not answering Dorothea's question regarding the date of the period of their Glencraig paintings sooner. She and Dr Theiler [?] have been out three times but cannot locate the group due to overgrowth prohibiting their approach to shelters. The paintings are also suffering. She and Theiler [?] concluded that a group are of a later period than the large ones they are searching for. She tries to recall where they were in relation to the others but may be mixing it up.
