ALS from Norah Purcell from her address at 6 Ridley Park, Singapore, Straits Settlements, dated 19.IX.31. She sends a deposit of 5 pounds for books to chosen by her or her husband Victor, but expresses that she "was greatly displeased to receive 'abridged' editions of the two children's books ordered "The Wide Wide World" and "Queechy." When I asked for cheap copies to be sent, I naturally expected they would be complete, and from Ward, Lock, or Collins, or Blackie - not the totally illiterate Herbert Strang who has been responsible for the present volumes which are almost unrecognisable."

(sic). Victor Purcell (1896-1965) was a British colonial public servant, historian, poet, and Sinologist in Malaya (now Malaysia). Susan Warner, writing under the name of "Elizabeth Wetherell", wrote 30 novels. The Wide Wide World, her first, was the most popular.

She and her sister moved with their father to Constitution Island in the Hudson River after the financial Panic of 1837, teaching religion to West Point cadets. Her sister Anna was the author of song "Jesus Loves Me". 7x9", 2pp, with date stamps and the bookseller's notations for the deposit account, receipt number and various other notes.…
