Thanks mate. I did keep the paper $10 but I used it to buy a drink. Henry would have thought it was money well spent RIP Brother

Do you still want the HENRY LAWSON IN LEETON book?

They have finished restoring Henry Lawson Cottage in LEETON NSW AUSTRALIA.

I'll do a youtube video of it soon

Great work cobber, good to see henry's work break the monotony of Americanism that seems to surround us in these modern times.

Just on henry's passing , ive read that he died either in Abbotsford house or in a cottage on Great north road in Abbotsford.

There is also a HENRY LAWSON DRIVE (road) and we HAVE HENRY LAWSONS ORIGINAL COTTAGE HERE IN LEETON NSW AUSTRALIA. GOING TO BE RESTORED SOON AS HE LIVED IN IT IN 1916 AND 1917.

I love the idea of posting a' video reading' on one of Henrys'

pieces.The audience should know that Henrys' drinking was born out of great personal loss. He was quite deaf from an early age and this left him an isolated figure. His marriage was fraught with despair and I believe his true love died when he was in England. No one can write like him and not be sensitive to the slings and arrows of life.A national treasure and I kept the 'Tenna' with that ragged face of account !

Well done. I have a site called the Louisa and Henry Lawson Chronology ... 100,000 words of info ... can't put the URL here ... if you google it I think you'll find it interesting. Lots on Banjo, Henry and the rest. Cheers.
