Letterheads just phone number of its period and 'Arslanli Konak, Bebek-Istanbul' address. First letter's date is 18th October, second one is 11th November 1946. Edwards family was an English Levantine family who arrived in Constantinople after the Crimean war (1853). They had a Baker Shop in Pera. The baker shops were established by the English Baker family who arrived in Constantinople after the Crimean war (1853), and the English immigrant families of Edwards and Binns were also involved with these shops. These latter 2 families opened businesses in different sectors and neigbourhoods of Istanbul, however with time these businesses were either transferred to the Bakers or they merged through partnership with them. The founder of the Baker shops, George Baker was at that time already operating a substantial business in London. Soon after George Baker arrived in Istanbul, he formed a partnership with the Hayden family and together they opened two shops, one on the Grand Rue de Pera, at where Anadolu Han now stands, the other in nearby Galata, opposite Serdar Ekrem Street, on the corner looking out to the Galata tower. This partnership established in the 1860s remained firm till the end of the 1870s. With the end of this decade, Hayden and Baker went their own way, and Hayden retained these shops and Baker opened new retail outlets. One of these shops was again by the Galata tower, at Sahdegirmeni Street, and the other was next to the former Kanzuch pharmacy [Austrian run, in Pera?]. Soon after this first shop on the Grand Rue de Pera, George Baker opened his second shop where Sümerbank [central Pera, near the British Consulate] now stands. In these shops the Bakers sold a wide range of goods in including textiles, bedding, furniture and accessories. In addition to this they had by this time obtained the local representation of many foreign firms. A close friend of the Bakers, Cuthbert Evelyn Binns, became the manager of the Baker shops after WWI. The other English Levantine family of Edwards family firm, Edwards and Sons, merged with the G. & A. Baker company. At this time C.E. Binns was still the general manager, and W.G.M. Edwards continued his career as a member of the board of directors. Records show that between 1924-1925 W.G.M. Edwards continued his association with the local British Chamber of Commerce and in 1930 was elected as its president. (Source: Behzat Üsdiken with Levantineheritage translation).

'I was responsible twenty-one years ago for annexng him for a trip round the world, when I went out as Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the British Press, for the Third Imperial Press Conference at Melbourne.' Can she suggest 'any school of journalism' for a 'young girl of about sixteen - who incidentally was an evacuated child to the United States for five years' 'That excellent school - of London University - presided over by my friend Tom Clarke, has not, I think, been revived'. 'John Reid, the Scottish sculptor, has just completed a very beautiful, simple, seat, as a small memorial to my dear Lady, and I hope very shortly to have it brought across from Hertfordshire and installed in Headley churchyard.'
