| Title | William Barnes, Liverpool, to J G Barnes: I that it is not prudent to risk too large a sum with one house; I would prefer a commission business to one in which money is risked; our Dundee business is merely forwarding goods at a certain rate per package and does not employ 1/3 of our capital; I have enquired into the character of the firm in question; the goods we wish to order will also be suitable for the Perambuco market; I do nit intend to ship more to Butria until we receive remittances; I shall not require the loan until the middle of January; Ellen is enjoying her visit very much. |
