This is a letter of acknowledgement dated 13 November 1913 from the Hon Secretary of the Penang Bar Committee to Allen and Gledhill, concerning the admission of Everard William Willett as a solicitor and advocate to the Supreme Court of the Straits Settlements. It is part of a collection of legal documents from the 19th and early 20th centuries which provides a glimpse into the work of the notable personalities who left their mark on Singapore’s legal history, and the economic and other transactions undertaken by ordinary immigrants in 19th century Singapore that tell stories of misfortune and indebtedness which would otherwise have disappeared from history.
