Correspondence

A letter from Professor Louis Maingard to Dorothea Bleek, University of the Witwatersrand, 3 July 1945, regarding funding for her Bushman Dictionary. Maingard advises Dorothea on approaching the Research Grant Board (referencing her letter of 18 May 1945). After discussing with Clement Doke, Maingard suggests she first seek a token grant from the African Studies journal, which can then be presented to the Board to demonstrate interest from the publication. Maingard outlines the Board's likely response and gives instructions for applying. She must send him her draft application letter for review, and he and Doke will provide letters of recommendation to accompany it.
