The following letters and telegrams were written in 1883 and 1884 starting with letters from July 1883 asking whether the rumours that a German trading company has bought Angra Pequena harbour are true. The land had indeed been bought by Adolf Lüderitz 1834-1886 who founded a trading post at Angra Pequena and renamed it Lüderitz. The majority of the following letters discuss the British attitude towards Germany and the new settlement including evidence of British claim and authority in the area and orders to send gunboats to the bay. The folding map shows a large part of Namibia's coast line.Ad 2: Official publication presented to the British Houses of Parliament containing a letter by the Earl of Derby Colonial Secretary concerning Lüderitz with four appendices including letters and statements from 1867 and 1868.
