A letter from JA White of Methuen & Co. Ltd to Dorothea Bleek, 17 January 1941. White informs Dorothea that the case of original watercolour "drawings" for "More Rock Paintings in South Africa" has been lost at sea due to enemy action. Methuen's prompt insurance claim was paid and Dorothea's cheque is enclosed. He also includes a criticism of the book by a reviewer concerning the lack of scale and reference to the original size of the images.
