http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/223435107

Letters of 1963 partly concern Porter's 'The tilted cross'. There are four letters, all 1963, from Porter in South Gippsland, to H. Rollo Hammet in Rosanna (Vic.) and two from Hammet. Porter is wanting to borrow a book from Hammet. Hammet is happy to help and invites Porter to look over his collection when he is next in Melbourne. Includes a list of items he has on T.G. Wainwright. Porter later writes to thank Hammet and is off to Sydney for Book Week. There is a 'direct' letter from Porter to Mr. McArthur dated 26 May 1969 refusing an invitation to address a Japanese week in Queensland. Also, one letter dated 18 June 1989 from Karen Darby to Sarah and Geoff Cains, and a letter from the Cains to Karen Darby. Both regarding Porter.
