Dear Sir,
[It was to hard]? re Sofala & a ?
it was an aboriginal name but was 
named after a place in South Africa
In the year 1500 the Portuguese made settlements
on that coast & Sofala was considered a very
rich gold mining country  & I believe our
Sofala was named after it the same as 
our Mother was named after the supposed
Mother of KIng Soloman
                        Yours faithfully
                           Walter Suttor
