Dear Sir,

A notice has appeared in the local Press requesting the next-of-kin of certain persons to communicate with you at the earliest possible moment. Amongst the persons named is the late Captain William Hildrige Armstrong MACDONNELL. Captain MacDonnell appointed his father, Lieut-Colonel Lucius Gerald Armstrong MacDonnell M.D., sole executor of his will. Lieut.Colonel MacDonnell is absent from Queensland - he is at present in France - but I am his attorney under a very full Power of Attorney. I shall be obliged if you will let me know for what purpose you wish captain MacDonnell's next-of-kin to communicate with you.

Yours faithfully,
JG McGregor
