Summary
Letter from Thomas Baker, Managing Director of Australian Kodak Limited, to George Eastman, Director of Eastman Kodak Company, dated 25 March 1911. There are several typing and spelling errors and the letter is not signed, so this was likely a draft. He discusses his upcoming trip to Tonga and 'The South Seas' where he plans to test Eastman's 'Speed' film.
This is one of 29 letters in an incomplete series of communications between Eastman and Baker.
This object is part of the Kodak collection of products, promotional materials, photographs and working life artefacts collected from Kodak Australasia in 2005, when the Melbourne manufacturing plant at Coburg closed down.
Physical Description
