Atlee Hunt to Inspector-General of Police, Sydney, 26 September 1916: ‘Mrs Greenland has expressed herself as very reluctant to admit her German nationality, and this Department has promised that no publicity will be given to the case.’ In another letter to her solicitors, Rawlinson & Hamilton, Sydney, 11 September 1916, Hunt says: ‘to anyone who knows the circumstances the acknowledgement of technical German nationality would imply no reflection of stigma.’ Implies she was not required to put notices in the newspapers.
