To Rheinallt Jones. Enclosing letter to J.H. Hofmeyr re having to part with her inherited collection, which meant her father's last link with Malmani for her. She thought Gubbins Africana would only go to the University and Africana Museum at her own death. Would be grateful if she could be allowed to hold it personally in trust.
