The Letter
A rubber-plantation administrator's wife whose poise, graciousness, and stoicism impress nearly everyone who meets her shoots a man to death and claims it was self-defense. Her husband is certainly without doubt, as is the district officer, while her lawyer's doubts could be a natural skepticism. But this is Singapore and the resentful natives will have no compunction about undermining this accused murderess. A letter in her hand turns up and could prove her undoing.
