A.W. Howitt Esq.,
Dear Sir,
I desire to sincerely thank
you for your kindness in answering
my queries with regard to the
natives.
The other day, in conversation with
Mr. Sidney Seymour, of Romsey (a pioneer
of this district - 1842 - and now in
his 94th year), I was informed by him
that whilst on Dr Baynton's station
(15 miles north of Lancefield) he had
some natives assisting him in different
kinds of work. They would not, however,
come over the range to Lancefield,
stating that they had no business
there and it was not their
territoy. This is confirmation of
the boundary that you give in
your "Native Tribes", and shows that
your information has been reliable
