Page:Letter from Aubrey Hall to Helen, 1935-12-24, p2.png

 The news about Gag is very disquieting, please wire me news of her, if you do not write tonight per Harry Harper.

The letter is very bitter against. He says his grandfather took him off a newspaper in Geraldton, gave him a job in the W.A. & W.M. then a partnership, trusted him implicitly & after his death, Harry says swindled his people heavily & that the general idea that he paid the Harper estate a hundred thousand for their interest is a myth.

It is rumoured that 18 squatters are putting in £500 each to buy Mick Williams out & putting Pat Young in as manager — a heavy blow for Bob Hammond if true. Allen has invested in a non electric refrigerator £45 plus almost £5 packing & freight, apparently a great improvement on the, just a while enamel cabinet on legs, run by a burner the size of a Bismark, cost of kero almost 2/- per week.
