In this issue we begin a series of some of Plum's manuscript notes for stories, printed by permission of the Governors of Dulwich College, and with our thanks to Dr. Jan Piggott, Curator of the Dulwich College Archive. The notes were provided to Plum Lines by Joel Brattin after a recent visit to the archive. The note is printed here as PGW wrote it, including the underlines. --OM
Idea for story
(as planter in Malaya)
Man who has been abroad ^ for some
years (as in Dick's story) -- hasn't seen
a white woman -- goes on leave -- falls in love with
first girl he meets on boat -- gets engaged (if better,
two girls?)--Then he lands + meets heroine and wants
to get out of it in order to marry heroine.
