I assume he is at some point the mail / managing director in London - Latimer Clark, Muirhead & Co., formed in 1875 to manufacture electrical apparatus and machinery - the following note/letter could well relate to Telegraphic equipment and might explain his travel to Belgium etc.

23 Regency Street.
Westminster S.W.

local Co. in Sydney for their Patents an arrangement with that Co might abolish competition to obtain the influence of W.Cracknell. Sydney- but it is possible you might be able to do a advantageous deal with that gentleman personally.

The Gen. manager of the Aust. Co.in Australia has arranged for starting a Sydney station.

Shd. you think 50000 pounds too high then there might be 25000 pounds capital in10 pound shares & say 15000 pounds paid up. The suburbs of Sydney only be made as wide in area as you wd; consider right & fair to the local Co.

In great haste for mail.
Yours faithfully,
Latimer Clark Muirhead & Co.Limited
A Duff Morison
Mail Direc.
