Summary
A letter, possibly an unfinished or discarded draft, from Jemima Lloyd to her sister Lucy Lloyd, written "out of doors", presumably in the Cape, on Sunday 30 November 1862. Jemima responds to Lucy's shock and upset over something Jemima said, as well as a misunderstanding with Wilhelm, and her intention to not come and stay with them as a result. At the time of this letter the now-married couple have moved into their New Street house. It is not stated where Lucy is (probably still at Mrs Roesch's Boarding House).
