I was intrigued by Daniel Southwell's letter about the Glorious First of June. I'm an Australian historian and very interested in Daniel Southwell's references to his time at the Look Out Post (North Head) of Sydney Harbour and his references to Indigenous Australians (Aborigines). He sent his uncle Weeden a vocabulary in 1790 which reveals much about the social life and kin relationships of Aboriginal people at that time. Is there any more in this area?
