For more Names for Stations on the Woodford-Kilcoy Line.
Sir,
I beg to refer you to your letter of 25th November last re above, and shall be obliged if you will furnish me with some additional Aboriginal names for stations at 33 Miles 23 Chs. and 23 Miles 30 Chains, as two of those submitted by you could not be adopted as they would clash with places with similar names in New South Wales and Victoria. The nature of the country has already been indicated to you in my memo of 13th November.
I am, Sir, Yours faithfully, [N] [G] Bell Cheif Engineer. [signature]
