Sir
This Society which was
formed among other things for collecting
all that is obtainable concerning the
Aborigines, solicits your assistance
in making a collection of the names
of places with their meanings, or the
reason why the Blacks gave such
names to the several localities (see
example x) No doubt some of the old
residents your district will be able
to assist you.
Yours faithfully
