Sir,

This Society, which was formed amongst other things for collecting all that is obtainable
concerning the Aboriginees [sic], solicits your assistance in making a collection of the Native Names of
places with their meanings or the reason why the blacks gave such names to the several localities (see
example).* No doubt some of the old residents in your district will be able to assist you.

Yours faithfully,

[name printed, on right, in upright text] W. WENTWORTH-BUCKNELL,

[in italics, on right] Hon. General Secretary.
