Letter by Mary Gilmore to J.K. Moir 1952.10.27 ....
About C. J. Dennis:- My first knowledge of him was in the 90s, when, in Adelaide, he and someone else had a paper called (I think) "The Gadfly" to wh. I sent some verse and other matter before I went to South America. My next meeting was when "The Sentimental Bloke" was in typescript and he was selling copies for 5/- each in Sydney. This, I might add, was a strictly limited edition as money was scarce and typing cost money! the world was the richer for his being, and the poorer for his going. Yours sincerely,
