DescriptionLetter from Oskar Speck to the German Consulate, Batavia typed in German with text one side of each page only. Dated 16 February, 1938, the letter notes that the resident ambassador of Ambon has refused landing on the coast of Dutch New Guinea, offering alternative routes to Australia, although they are less satisfactory. Oskar wants to go south, taking responsibility for himself not being perturbed by the natives, as he feels the Lakor incident would not be repeated. He is asking the consulate for help in this matter, to gain him access to the south.
