>Dear Listers,
>Some time back I sought info. on Dr. George WITT and his brother-in-law,
Dr.

>Sydney, the latter in Gippsland. Several people were very helpful indeed. I

the

>(London) Morning Post dated August 27th 1842 containing contemporary
>observations on both the Sydney area and "Gipps' Land". Now transcribed, it
>runs to about four and a half A4 pages and is in MS Word format. It's very
>descriptive and available to anyone who wants a copy.
>Yours, etc.
