Correspondence

A letter from Jemima Lloyd to Wilhelm Bleek, sent from London on 16 January 1862 (Thursday night). Alone before bedtime, she thinks of "my own dear friend" and longs for his next letter, due in two weeks-though she expects his "answer" to her long letter only in three months. She questions whether expressing doubts about her love and telling him "all" was wrong and fears she gave him a false impression due to a "puzzle-headed" expression of her feelings. Uncertain if she will send this letter, she writes as a form of "relief and comfort". She reports that she is trying to get well so she can return home safely.
