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]
