- 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
- Owner of the run Ballärat[1]
