WILLIAM SATCHELL
Sir,- Congratulations on P.J.W.’s atticle on the elusive William. Satchell. The search for early contributions is interesting. The only one I would question at the moment is that signed "J. Eman Smith." I knew Eman Smith when he was registrar of old age pensions. He afterwards went as resident agent for New Zealand in the Cook Islands, and I think was there almost to his death. Actually, James Cowan was the third New Zealand writer to receive the civil list pension, a year or two before Satchell, I believe Satchell might have had his earlier but for his reluctance to take what might have a tang of charity about it. In view of the poor rewards for. writing in New Zealand until recent years Satchell was lucky to live long enough to receive what he did for his reprints. For the rest, he certainly won’t be forgotten.
