On March 15, 1913, Macauliffe passed away in his London home at Sinclair Gardens, West Kensington.

His Punjabi assistant, Muhammad, who knew little English, wrote in his simple, inadequate way to Bhai Kahn Singh, one of Macauliffe's valued collegues in India, informing him of the sorrowful event:

"1913 March two-day [today] Friday 21 [March] Sir dear Sardar Mr. Kahn Singh good morning Much better you look I am sorry you now dear friend very good dear not come India and I am sorry Saturday 15 [March] twonight last time it is 8 oclock past 10 minute lost Sir dear lost Mr Macauliffe a sleep London now and I am sorry..."

In this letter, which is preserved in the Dr. Ganda Singh Collection in Patiala, Muhammad said that Macauliffe was reciting the Sikh prayer, Japji, ten minutes before his death.
