From James Duncan regarding the tenancy of Williams' property at Zeehan dated 12 September 1896. From Ada Proctor of Sandy Bay on hearing

From E.A Lorkin of North Lyell regarding the lease, amalgamation, and section not complying with labour clause written on 18 October 1897. From J. McDonald of Strahan, correspondence regarding mill timber and accompanying list of measurements of logs dated 6 September 1897. These personal letters of Alex Lachlan Williams 1894-1897 are from the papers of Oscar Jones, solicitor of Murdoch & Jones Queenstown branch and his predecessor Alex Lachlan Williams, apparently found at Strathelie at Broadmarsh formerly the Jones family home.
The Queenstown practice was established by Alex Lachlan Williams in 1896. Later Charles Page became a partner and established an office at Zeehan. George Murdoch of the Stone Buildings, Hobart, later Murdoch and Jones, acted as Hobart agent and early in 1898 the two firms merged as Williams and Page of Hobart, Queenstown and Zeehan. In April 1899, however, Williams sold out to Murdoch and Jones, Oscar Jones managed the Queenstown branch and by July the firm's name was changed to Murdoch & Jones. Williams & Page remained in Zeehan, under C.S. Page.
