To the Editor of the Geelong Advertiser
Ballärat
25 Nov 1851
Sir, Perceiving that the name of the Diggings here is generally pronounced incorrectly I beg to state that it is a Native name and that the accent in not on the last syllable but on the one before the last as written above. It is a pity that Englishmen should spoil the Euphony of the Native Language.
I am Sir Your most obedient servant
Archibald B. Yuille
