A.W. Howitt Esq.
East Malvern [underlined]
Dear Sir,
In reply to your letter
which I received yesterday I am
sorry to say that none of the
blacks have yet succeeded in finding
the little animal "Turnung".
I have just been speaking to
Old Barak and two or three others
and mentioned to them what you
say about the little "flying mouse".
I hope someone will soon meet
with the little animal you want.
Regarding the question as
to whether or not a man's
future
