Lord Forrest & Frank Hann were old friends of many years. Frank Hann ruined himself (he had a beautiful station "Lawn Hill" near Normanton, Queensland) in his generosity to the groups round & about him. He was a very old friend of [?] Talbot - was as well educated as Frank Hann, & stayed with him on terms of equality at all hotels. Talbot was a Normanton native, & a very well mannered man. Frank Hann died in 1921. He opened up much splendid country in the Kimberleys & in W.A. west of the S.A. border. Lord Forrest always gave credit to Frank Hann for the utmost accuracy in his maps etc of his explorations. In ink: 'Daisy M. Bates'. Presented to J.M. Maughan, Adelaide.' The photo was taken by C.M. Nixon of Fremantle and Northam.
