| Title | Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to his father J G Barnes: I sent an extract of your letter to Mr Baxter; replied confirming his suggestions regarding Australia; we are writing to Baxter and to Frederick Barnes for more information on the mode of conducting business in Sydney; our present plan is that William and Charles should open an establishment in Sydney with a view to extending to Port Philip later; we only made £179 profit this half year; the opening of a foreign branch would enable us to take Edmund and Charles into the business. |
