loook at my work so far:
21 Jan 1822
Well, my dear, I am on a ship now, on the way to Singapore. I am rather nervous, as I don’t really know what to do after I get there. I was thinking of setting up a agency, to bring goods from all over the world. And then, I can sell these goods perhaps. To other merchants, that is. Many of my friends have also been coming to Singapore for that very reason. I do hope I will succeed, for I am not as experienced as others. Well, it s late, and I don’t have much time, so goodnight now.

My work is going rather well, as I am, in most ways, rather rich. I have the support of my family, definitely. So I have been trying to find some ships, and people. I think it just might work. This will be a short entry, as I am very busy.

I have a ship company with me now, and the manager even says that there will be many willing companies all over, in China, in India, Malaya, everywhere. I am quite confident this will be a success. I am so delighted that I have come so far, Singapore indeed is a better place! I can continue with my story now, I guess, since I have a lot of time on my hands. I am Richard G. Michaels, and I am 24 years old, this year. The trip on the ship was a grueling two weeks, of which I did not enjoy at all. There was no food, and what I brought was barely enough, but I fared off much better than others. There were sick and dying people, and frankly, I could not help feeling disgusted at the hygiene in the ship. But I made it here safe and sound, and I am thankful for it. Bless those sick people.

It is almost the New Year for the Chinese, and all the Chinese coolies are preparing for it in Chinatown. I have not visited it yet, but I hope to do so. It is harder to visit them, as Sir Stamford Raffles tries to separate the races. I hold a rather high respect for the Chinese; really, their history goes long and deep. I have contacted some companies, and they have agreed to work with me, they are from China. I am not sure what they will provide. I hope for silk, but I have heard hat they are not all that open, as to sell silk…ahh, I am tired, have a good night.

It has been in the middle of the Chinese New Year celebrations, and I had to let my coolies go and celebrate their fifteen days. Yes, fifteen days. Very long, isn’t it? I never knew! I haven’t been getting any replies lately, it’s frustrating. The Chinese producer will be providing tea and medicines. I’m disappointed that they decided not to give me silk in the end, but I suppose it is rather a good deal. I am short of workers, now, not as many immigrants as my friends told me. I am praying for more, as I cannot work an agency without coolies.

It is Valentine’s Day, and I am planning to write a letter to my dear wife. and God has really blessed me. Today, just 11 more immigrants came, and as they were looking for jobs, I gave them one. This is perfect, as 11 are more than enough. I am still looking for more producers, though. This is going to be another short one; I need to write a letter.

I am greatly sorry for not writing for a long, long time. I have been sending and receiving many letters and negotiating with the different producers. But, so far, it has been going well. I have now another producer, from Britain, this time. It was a rather easy deal once he knew I was from Britain as well. He sends me glassware, and cotton and woolen cloth as well. I am a fortunate man. I have been sending back my earnings to the bank and back to my family. The place where I stay is a beautiful house, although it is small, since there is only one person living there, me. My wife and my child are coming over soon, and I will have to find a bigger house soon, as two rooms are not enough if we are to stay here for a long time. I am so busy, that I will not have a lot of time for you, my dear. I am sorry. The sun has slept, and I think I shall too. Goodnight.

My family is already on the ship to Singapore, and I am praying for a safe trip. I hope to get a producer from India perhaps? Or in Indonesia? I probably need a translator too, as I cannot write Tamil, or should I let them do it…? I think Straits Chinese are rather lucky, as they can speak three languages. I can’t think of anything to write, now, so I’ll just write down all my thoughts. It can be pretty unrelated. Ah well, the oil is running low, I think I shall sleep.

My family are about to reach Singapore, I think, and I hope. I will be able to see my dear Margaret, and my lovely Clarisa again. Alright, these are my thoughts now:
1. Wishing Clarisa was here, now.
2. Hoping for more work opportunities
3. Chinese are vibrant, yet humble
4. Indians are hardworking
5. We, British are rather a accomplishment
6. The Malay food is good.
7. The amount of paperwork I have is overwhelming.
8. Is my family coping alright?
9. Time is passing so slow.
Interesting, isn’t it? That the human mind can think of so many things in a split second? Ah, my searching for people is not good enough, no? Work harder, I must. Tired. Sleepy. Blank.

I have been too busy looking for accommodations the past few days, and for proper clothing and furniture for my family.

NICE RIGHT?
