Abstract
Although this letter is described as a Denis George letter, it is correspondence between Stelios (Greek pearler and a friend of Denis George) and his friend Kostas. Stelios is describing the working condition as a pearler in the Thursday Island and his connection to AHEPA in Brisbane. He is also requesting from Kostas to write an article about his life and experience as a pearler to publish it in a magazine with the title "The courageous Greek Robinson".
