George Aumuller

1 LEARN with very deep sorrow of the death of my old friend, George Aumuller. He was indeed a dear and faithful soul, and one would search his long record in Papua in vain for any sign of meanness or pettyness.

His word could be unhesitatingly taken, as I knew him so well in connection with my official life which involved me in the not easy task of preserving (or at least trying to do) a fair balance as between the white man and the coloured.

I cherish the memory of George Aumuller and his pleasant bungalow at Samarai, where I have eaten many a meal and spent many happy hours. He was ever a genial and generous host. God rest his kindly soul.

I am. etc.,
