AbstractHistoryArchive Description

When first I met Daley (it was in Melbourne; at Richmond I think) I found him surrounded by a house with some ducks. Being always hospitable, he offered to kill the ducks for me. But he said the ducks belonged to the landlord and the rent was overdue; so Daley was not hospitable, and I lost my roast duck.

Notes

  • Includes photographic portrait and poem with the caption : 'A portrait from 'Wine and Roses' (Angus and Robertson, 5s), edited with a memoir by Bertram Stevens. The book comprises a welcome selection from the verse that came after 'At Dawn and Dusk.' It will be noticed in another issue. For the present, read 'Anacreon'.'
  • Includes a letter from Daley written to a friend. The letter tells of his illness. The address given is : Springside-on-Styx, April 24 / 05.
