- Editorial notes and bibliography
- Add. 12398 was a register kept in Farquhar's Singapore secretariat, in which were recorded official letters (outgoing and incoming) and proclamations. Badriyah Haji Salleh comments that the contents are clearly copies, because they include errors and corrections, and occasionally duplicates.
- Badriyah's stated editorial policy is to reproduce the text as found (p.40). However, the transliteration appears to have undergone some secondary editing. For example, Badriyah notes (p.xix, 4) that the letters are nearly all introduced with "Ini kopia surat kirim ..." (i.e. This is a copy of the letter ...). In the transliterated text, this has been changed to "Ini copy surat kiriman ...". The original has been restored. Similarly for Wolanda, represented in the transliteration as [H]olanda. It is also likely that some of the dates Badriyah reads as 1234 should be 1235, but no changes have been made.
- List of letters
- Letters are numbered, broadly chronologically, in the order in which they are found in Add. 12398.
