Distributed and published by Da Zong Shu Ju (大众书局印行) in Singapore, this primary school textbook imparts skills of letter writing such as style, expression and format. Letters were the main form of communication in the past, and textbooks such as Correspondence aimed to teach students this skill. This skill was especially important in overseas Chinese communities as letter-writing was instrumental in allowing them to maintain ties with their relatives in China.
