Committee	Batten re Powis	5th March. First visit to Melbourne to report upon the probability of my being able to obtain pictures for the proposal of an Exhibition and Art Union. One of the persons on whom I called was Mr. G.H.Powis who lent me a large number of pictures and gave me considerable and valuable assistance in obtaining loans from other persons. On 11th March the committee decided to hold the Exhibition and Art Union. 14th March. Second visit to Melbourne to lay out a scheme to Mr. Powis pointing out to him that in committing ourselves to such an enterprise, would incur ourselves to certain costs of at least 500 pounds in the event of failure. Therefore the amount expended on the collection of pictures should be kept down to the smallest possible sum. Consequently I definitely could not pay him for anything he did for me. If the Art Union was a success I would do all in my power to put anything I could his way - that there could be many commissions on the purchase of pictures, little jobs of restoring, varnishing etc.... I did tell him that I thought there was little doubt that the committee would appoint him agent for the sale of tickets. Amongst the people to whom he had spoken about lending pictures were: Messrs. Frederick Tate; Balharry; (Alfred Molloy & Co).; N. Lynch; Charsley; and J.McFarlane - all of whom had promised to lend whatever number of pictures he (Powis) might select. On being applied to, both Mr. Tate and Mr. Charsley utterly repudiated having made such promises and declined to entertain the idea. Mr. Balharrie was willing to sell his pictures outright but not lend them. I waited upon Messrs. Lynch and McFarlane in company with Mr. Powis.The latter at first promised to lend me a number of valuable paintings and the former at first promised several but later as a consequence of Powis serving him badly in neglecting work he had undertaken, refused to help me. It was evident that no application had been made to the gentlemen previously. Eventually he introduced me to the Hon. G.P.Smith who did what he could to assist me. Mr. Whitehead, a porter at the Chamber of Commerce, offered some very valuable paintings so we went to his house in a cab. They were "Effie Dreams in Prison'; Effie Deans preparing for the dance'; 'The English Martyr'; and '? Thought'. I would not have purchased them at the sum they cost, bring them to Ballarat and return them to the owner. All I wanted was for Powis to give me information about the whereabouts of pictures. I was not anxious for him to accompany me when interviewing these gentlemen as I found that he had drawn extensively on his imagination about his personal influence. In fact his behaviour degenerated to little better than a billiard room loafer. He persistently asked to borrow money. I decided I could do better without him. On about 18th April he wanted me to buy other pictures from him. I told him then as I had at least a dozen times before, that I had no money at my disposal to purchase pictures. He then tried to induce me to buy on my own account, as I had done before, guaranteeing me a large profit. I positively refused. I eventually agreed to discount his promissory note for 20 pounds taking a lien over six pictures which he had in his office as collatoral security. He tried very hard to get the money from me before giving me the a/cs and lien. When Mr. Barley telegraphed me to say that he had received the a/cs and lien, I then posted Mr. Powis a cheque for 20 pounds. I did this from my own account and the committee resolved to advance the money out of the Art Union fund and gave me a cheque for the 20 pounds. On receiving the letter of lien from Mr. Powis, I found that instead of it being over the pictures which he had delivered to me through Mr. Barley as security for the Bill, it was over a number of pictures which Mr. R. Twentyman had entrusted to him to lend me with option of purchase. I later found out that the pictures he called his had been purchased by him and Mr. A.C.Moore in partnership. Mr. Moore funding the money and Mr. Powis the judgement; and it was the fear of Mr. Moore that made the latter execute the little bit of juggliing with regard to the lien. On opening the Melbourne office (June) I offered to appoint him Agent to canvass for the sale of Art Union tickets. He was anxious to get the appointment but indignantly refused to give any security. I told him that the committee had every right to expect this and that he would ultimately sacrifice the position by not doing so. I visited Mr. Morrow to inquire if he could use his influence with him to fall in the the requirements of the committee, however he said he had tried for years to befriend him (Mr. Moore had much the same several times before) but he had so much stupid pride and was so utterley lazy that nothing could induce him to help himself. Since then I have seen Powis who appeared very friendly and congratulated on on prospects of success. It was only when I returned him three of his pictures, purchasing the other two for the 20 pounds advanced that he made a claim upon me in the letter of 9th September. The committee were anxious to buy all the pictures exhibited but these were valued at such an exorbitant figure that it was impossible to take them. In reply I wrote to him a letter (marked F) to this he returned a letter (marked G) in which he enclosed a/c and threatened proceedings.

Art Union	A. Marshall, Ballarat	The letter is about advertising the Art Union more effectively. Cheque enclosed for 23 pounds 5 shillings. This now allows ticket money to be banked in full. Mr Marshall will relieve Mr Batten of looking after talent. He asks for a list of all advertising and the amounts owed. He feels not enough is being done. Adelaide is suggested as a target. He also suggests targeting public houses - using coasters and/or paying bar girls to sell books. E. D. Dyer of Scotts Hotel could be approached. The second half of the letter refers to entertainment. The Duvallis would not have a wide enough appeal - the Ferards would be better. Mr Marshall is keen to get character dress singers, but costumes are too expensive for many singers. Lydia Howard and Alice Woolridge are mentioned. He also likes the idea of a good female dancer.	Documents	06	1147	A435	Committee room	07	Box No. A	Letters In	Art Union	14047	1874

Art Union	From W.H.Batten, Secretary, Ballaarat Mechanics' Institute, 117-119 Sturt Street, Ballarat 3350	re: Guarantee for 2nd, 3rd and 4th prizes. When the matter was under discussion I pointed out that our Prospectus did not bind us to give the cash and I was told that it had always been understood that such would be done although not advertised and we must keep faith. Of the discussions with Edwards and Karl I know absolutely nothing. I think it would be great folly to chance the probability of police interference for the sake of 70 or 80 pounds, now the affair is such a success. If you wish me to go to Karl send me information and instructions. Although the Hibernicon is best up there will be a new start made by either Scott or the other party. I have been negotiating with Cowan but he wants to see how the matter is goind to be settled. If Lefebure? gets the show Cowan will be engaged and that will pay him better than going to Pot. I will telegraph as soon as I know anything. Engaged Angela and husband 12 for one week, and 8 pounds per week afterwards.

	G.H.Powis Esq	FIve pictures were borrowed from you. It was intended by you originally to have sent another, a landscape by Williamson but at the last moment that one was not sent as it required something done either to picture or frame. We have retained the two flower pieces valued by you at 10 pounds each in payment of the loan of twenty pounds advanced by you and frees us of any interest on same. The other three pictures have been returned to your office. I return you your ? herewith. In reference to your assertion that I have acted unfairly and shabbily toward you I can only say that to make such charges only a fitting conclusion to your conduct throughout. At the outset of the affair I told you that I could not offer to employ you but that if you chose to assist me I would take care that if the Art Union came off something should be put in your way which would pay you well. For the ... pretence of assistance you gave I consider that I amply replaid you in buying the picture for ten pounds when you urgently needed money, lending you twenty pound to prevent as you said your landlord selling your furniture. Still though you had shown no disposition to give me real assitance I determined to do all that I had promised you and I offered you the Melbourne Regency for thye Art Union which as I told you then and the event has proved me below the mark, and in my estimation would be fully two hundred pounds lower. Not only so but when you in your foolish pride declined to comply with the only condition attached to my offer I would not take your answer as final but gave you ample time to reconcile the matter and went out of my way contact a friend of yours in the hope that his advice would prevent you throwing away your opportyunity. Mr. Twentyman's pictures would certainly have been purchased at like the prices he had put on them. You afterwards advanced the prices nearly one hundred percent rendering it quite impossible that we could sell them. Had you been in any degree moderate in your demands we had every inclination to comply with them even at a considerable sacrifice. The two Flower Pictures taken from you could not be put in at a price that left us no profit and I have no doubt could be re-purchased from the .... at half the amoun t we paid you.
