Susan Beckett

Susan Beckett was the wife of Cutler Beckett's cousin, Matthew Beckett. She writes to Cutler while he is working for the E.I.T.C. in Calabar, asking him to recomend her twelve year old son, John, to become an officer in the East India Trading Company because Beckett's father, Johnathan Beckett, rejected him a position in his family business. Cutler agrees to, even though he didn't really like the boy, simply to annoy his father.
