Brev till Maria Lloyd från Sarah Andersson, hennes svägerska: "Buitenkant Cape Town Jany 15th /78 My Dear Mary I cannot say how pleased and delighted we were to receive your letter to Llewellyn! We have so long been expecting to hear from you, as also from Miss Elizth Lloyd, whose name I was most glad to hear you mention, we were almost fearing that something had happed to her, for she is always so kind & generally replys immedieately after the receipt of our letters, perhaps she may have done so by the "Koman" a Steamer - which has been out so long, that we are afraid she is lost. Otherwise our letters must certainly have misscarried for which I cannot account. I have always sent them to my brother to drop in the post for me, he has been away for some time inspecting his offices round the country & surely that would make no fifference, I think the direction was not sufficiently clear, will you kindly give us your direction, so that we can send direct as I do not like troubling poor Miss Lloyd though we shall do so this time to make sure of your getting it. I often think of you & your Sister, how lonely you must feel without poor papa I too miss, so very much, his kind & frequent letters! I wish I could let you have the childrens portraits & will certainly do so as soon as I can manage it, as I too should like to have them but really there are so many calls on one for one or other necessary that there is nothing to spare for what one fancies, however. I am in hopes that Llewellyn will shortly be getting an increase to his salary, which the dear boy was promised & expected a few months ago the poor child was so disappointed at not getting it, I am sure more for my sake than his own for he knows how hard it is sometimes for me to make ends meet, schooling, and boys clothing is so very expensive, Llewellyn is at present getting L 6.5.0 pr month shich I assure you does not keep him Still it is a great thing to have in a way of doing something forhimself as well as assisting me with his sister & brothers, you will be glas to hear that he is a very good boy so kind & affectionate indeed I have much reason to be thankful in being thus blessed. Please excuse this short scrawl which I must draw to a close with love & kisses from the children & Yr. Affecte. Sister Sarah Andersson Kindest love to Aunty Henrietta S.A."
