Sir,
This Society, which was formed amongst other things for collecting all that is obtainable concerning the Aboriginees, solicits your assistance in making a collection of the Native Names of places with their meanings or the reason why the black gave such names to the seceral localities (see example).* No Doubt some of the old residents in your district will be able to assist you.
Yours faithfully,
W. Wentworth-Bucknell.
To______ Hon. General Secretary.
