Letter to A.C. Caldwell concerning the suit between Yee What Neo and, Sit Chea and Wee Bok Sing

This is a letter dated 25 November 1851 addressed to A.C. Caldwell, a senior sworn clerk from the court registry, concerning the suit between Yee What Neo (plaintiff) and Sit Chea and Wee Bok Sing (defendants). 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.
