Dear Sir,

I have your letter of 8th inst. to hand.
With regard to my aboriginal vocabulary compilation, I am
sorry that I cannot comply with your suggestion that I
should exhibit it to the University Librarian as I have
already placed it in the hands of Mr.D.A.O'Brien, the
Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society. I had
been approached on the matter by some members of the Society
and as it seemed to be the only way to have it printed and
recorded by a scientific or erudite body, I agreed to present
the Society with it. I might mention that since the
mention of the matter in the Press, quite a number of people
have taken an interest in it and I have been frequently
congratulated on my action. I shall not be able to see you
this week, but hope to call on you some day next week.

Yours faithfully,
F J Watson.

Mr Sidney May,
University of Queensland,
Brisbane.
