14 Moreton Street, Norman Park, Brisbane. 30th July, 1964.
The Superintendent, Cherbourg Aboriginal Mission, Cherbourg
Dear Sir,
I am a member of the Norman Park Young Anglican Fellowship and the members are conducting a Camp at the Tallebudgerra National Fitness Camp on the weekend of the 28th and 29th November.
It is our intention to have aboriginal names for the Camp and for the various sessions. We have obtained some from different sources but have been unable to find the aboriginal name for the theme which is "The One Who is Coming".
I trust that you may be able to assist us to find the words which mean "The One Who is Coming" or if that is not possable words that mean something the same.
Trusting that you are able to assist I have enclosed a stamped addressed envelope for return mail.
Yours faithfully, Owen HENESS.
