Letter by CJD to A.G. Stephens 1906.01.17

A.G. Stephens, Esq
Sydney

Dear Sir,

Blocks received today. Many thanks for the bird(?) and amphibological [sic] par.

I forward some verse under separate cover. I have read it so often that I am now uncertain whether it is fairly decent jingle or just plain rot.

If it is no use to you I should like you to post it on to Steele Rudd. Stamp enclosed.

Good luck to "Bookfellow".

Yours truly,
C.J Dennis

Note:
A.G. Stephens was, at the time of this letter, in charge of the Bulletin's influential Red Page. He was to leave the Bulletin later in 1906 to revive Bookfellow, a Sydney-based literary magazine.
The verse referred to in the letter is probably The Tory which was published in the Bulletin on 1 February 1906.
