Letter from the Honorary Secretary of the Singapore Bar Committee to John G. Campbell

This is a letter dated 12 March 1920 from the Honorary Secretary of the Singapore Bar Committee to John G. Campbell. The Honorary Secretary acknowledged receipt of a previous letter along with a copy of the petition of Thomas Francis Monks sent for the purpose of having Monks admitted to Chamber practice. 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.
