Correspondence (bound)

 
Component identifier:
Series 2
Content Summary:

The bound volumes contain copies of letters and cables sent from the Sydney and Melbourne offices of J.C. Williamson Ltd. Whilst most letters are not signed or initialled, the topics covered and the few signatures that occur indicate that most come from managing directors at the time, including J.C. Williamson, George Tallis, Hugh Ward and Clyde Meynell.

The large majority of letters and cables are detailed discussions of all aspects of the daily business of managing a large theatrical firm, such as theatre takings and the success of shows, as well as matters of policy, public relations, share negotiations and membership of the management board.

Please note: The 1909-1910 volume is on very flimsy tissue paper and letters are sometimes difficult to read.
