[Manuscript booklet of poems] [manuscript]. ca. 1905.

Typed on Furphy's own typewriter and annotated in his hand. The cover was probably hand-sewn by Furphy. The names of the poems are written on the cover in pencil or crayon. These poems, among others, were published by Lothian in 1916 with the assistance of Kate Baker. An examination of the published poems with that of the text in the typescript version, shows several variants. A list of these is housed with the item.
