Correspondence

Draft of a letter from Lucy Lloyd to Mr Elliot, dated 20 March 1876. Lucy encloses a photograph of Jan Rondabout and what limited genealogical information she has about him and his brother Hendrik. She notes Rondabout's memory of his ancestry is less detailed than that of earlier ǀxam instructors, but believes the brothers' parentage - mixed Flat and Mountain Bushman - may still interest Professor Rolleston. She includes Rondabout's prison discharge details and register description, which includes his physical description, place of trial, sentencing, occupation and place of origin.
