Correspondence

A letter [copy?] from Dorothea Bleek to the Secretary, SA Council for Educational, Sociological and Humanistic Research, 14 May 1947, regarding the £500 research grant promised by the now-defunct National Research Committee and Board for the publication of "A Comparative Dictionary of the Bushman Languages". Dorothea reminds the Council of the Board's award of the grant and provides related details, including how she raised the additional funds and her efforts at finding a suitable publisher. She quotes Zellig S Harris' full letter to Isaac Schapera proposing the "Vari-type" scheme for the American Oriental Society's publication of the dictionary. She concludes by stating that both Maingard and Schapera recommend closing with this offer and confirming her readiness to do so once the Council approves of the £500 award.
