OFFICE OF PROTECTOR OF ABORIGINALS 8/24 BOLLON. 15th MARCH, 1924.
SIR/, I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your MEMORANDUM dated 6th March, 1924, reminding me that I had not returned to the Home Department, the list of aboriginal Names of places and their respective meanings, sent me on 5th December, 1923. In reply I wish to state that I have not overlooked the matter, but am awaiting opportunity of interviewing 2 persons within this District who may and no doubt will be able to give me the only information worth reporting, for so far I have been unable to obtain any definite information on the matter, and no doubt it is not intended that any expence should be incurred in ---- obtaining such, I have refrained from so doing, further there has been an excessive amount of work to attend to at this Station since receipt of such list, that would justify same standing over for a time. I will endeavor to obtain some particulars at an early date, and forward to the requestee. I have the honour to beSIR, Yours obediently, A Adams Protector for BOLLON. Dist TO/ The Chief PROTECTOR of Aboriginals, South-Brisbane. Bring up 31.3.24
