very sorry affairs of C Powers and Company have reached such a climax suggest wind up and sell everything probably have to go abroad “I should have been sorry for Walter had I thought he intended working” cheque for £20 “living very moderately of necessity for a long time” “I shall not have enough money for my rent” “I should like to keep up appearances to the end” 6 Oct 1884 same to same (H E Powers, St Stephen’s Club) implicit confidence in T J Hooper – if it’s your opinion Ham Brickworks should stop then “I think it should be done at once” suppose T J Hooper asked Wells and Company for reasonable time to wind up affairs instead of “sending us through the courts” will wait in smoking room for T J Hooper next afternoon 8 Oct 1884 same to same explains why missed meeting him wish would send another cheque – owe Sturges, a member £6 and Ramsay £7 would like to keep present rooms if everything is sold and he has sufficient may try to get into partnership in some business, failing that go abroad. Surely a few pounds extra spent between now and Christmas will not make much difference to any future, seems to H E Powers no chance of Walter and him keeping business going. would like to know what capital he might have wants to know chances of selling business and tolerably good settlement over Frederick Powers 3 Nov 1884
