Kelly (1917-1991) was a talented young US Marine Corps radio operator who has managed to preserve many of the original radio dispatches, and cablegrams surrounding the fast devolving situation in Shanghai in 1937-1939. The clippings from the Shanghai Times, and China Times are filled with notices of artillery duels and battle, with illustrations showing the overwhelming struggle by the 4th Regiment to preserve American interests in the International Zone.

Manuscript letter, in English, describes the current social situation in Shanghai. The letter, addressed to a Miss Josephine Baxton in Masachussetts, appears to be authored by an American housekeeper who travels between the United States and China with her wealthy employers, the Wilsons, who take up part-time residence in Shanghai. Specifically making a comparative statement between the lives and the habits of young men and women, Chinese versus American, the Wilsons' home abroad was most likely in the International Settlement in Shanghai, an exclusive neighbourhood for the elite and wealthy, wholly controlled by foreign business owners and aristocrats. This correspondence candidly exposes social deficiencies and danger. [Descriptive information provided by dealer // JAD20130411]
