Hello Sam. It was only by clicking on your profile to make contact with you that I realised that you are from New Zealand - me too! Born in Christchurch and lived in both North and South Islands. Now living in England (as parents are British).
Anyway, the reason for contacting you is that I am writing a book about the life and legacy of Captain Smith and would like to see if it was possible, with your permission, to reference your excellent article “The Fearless Mrs. Givens -Purser accused of discrimination, overuled by Captain Smith” The Fearless Mrs. Givens
It is a fascinating little incident that also gives us some insight into Smith's character. While I only quote from The Colorado Statesman, August 20, 1910, it is your article that drew my attention to it, so I want to give proper credit where it is due, and wanted to contact you first before going any further.
Are you happy for me to credit you? Please let me know your thoughts.
Many thanks,
Dan
