Correspondence

A letter to Lucy Lloyd from the Office of the Commissioner of Crown Lands and Public Works, Cape of Good Hope, dated 24 June 1880. It refers to Lloyd's attempt to visit four Bushman convicts at the Breakwater with Mr Hermann, photographer. The author encloses an order permitting the visit and explains the difficulty Lloyd faced on a previous occasion. His department handles convicts, while unconvicted prisoners fall under the Magistrate and prisoners of war under the Secretary for Native Affairs.
