I have left a copy, a copy press one, of the work in case of accident and for the press should the Government here, or private friends want to carry it through the process. It was suggested to me yesterday by the Colonial under Secretary that it would be desirable that the Parliament Library, as well as our University here should have copies. I must endeavour to complete the work as speedily as possible with my other paramount duties, and then see what can be done. In the Lexicon every word and particle of the word will be explained so as to make it easy to be understood and at the end I propose some few illustrative sentences shewing the peculiarities of the Language. As I stated before the work, is at your service for the purposes of science to use it in any way you may think the most useful. I have now much pleasure in presenting it for your acceptance and hope it will not disappoint your expectations. Praying that our heavenly Father in and through the person of his blessed and only begotten Son may guide you by his Holy Spirit in the very important position in which his providence has placed you and bless you in your own person and family believe me to remain
My Dear Sir George,
Yours faithfully
L.E. Threlkeld
