  • Notes // Примечания: Born in Vladivostok, daughter of Dora and Harry Finkelstein, who died at the family home, 11 Route Francis Garnier, aged 32. “Deceased had been in ill health for many months, but her sudden death has come as a shock to her large number of friends in Shanghai, where she was very popular. She was a very charming person and extremely clever, being particularly brilliant as a linguist. She had a flair for writing and was a very active member of the Short Story Club, where she was Secretary. Her loss will be keenly felt not only by her relatives but by various benevolent organizations which she faithfully served, and many friends. A beautiful spray of flowers on the casket was from ‘Mother, Sophie, Lena and Jimmy’.”
