Just before the death of her husband he received a letter announcing JH's intention of visiting the Cape. Would be pleased to provide him with any information if he desires it.
Grateful for JH's kind letter, but will be unable to visit him as her time is taken up visiting relations. Will send some Cape bulbs if Lady Herschel would like them.
Having now decided on going to the Cape would like a few queries answered regarding travel, housing, servants, dress, and medical facilities.
Has received Sir John's letter. Gives details of the necessities for a voyage to the Cape. Conditions at the Cape, housing, food, servants, etc.
