Letter from Ally M. Aiken to C. Baumgarten

This is a letter dated 29 June 1858 from Ally M. Aiken, the law agent for Seah Eu Chin, to C. Baumgarten, concerning the administration of the estate of the deceased Seah Ah Choy. 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.
