Correspondence

A letter from JW Roberts of Methuen & Co. Ltd to Dorothea Bleek, 5 September 1940. Roberts informs Dorothea he has enclosed a bill of lading for shipping the case containing the "original drawings" for "More Rock Paintings in South Africa". He encloses an invoice for freight and insurance, to be debited from her sales credit. Includes two envelopes addressed to Dorothea at La Rochelle, Newlands - one from Methuen & Co., Ltd, having probably contained JW Roberts' letter; the other sender is not identified, but Dorothea [?] has noted the Plumstead address of "P. Burnam" [?] on the reverse. No letter included.
