Letter to Andrew Inglis Clark, Tasmania from Walter T. Gill, Melbourne 22 April 1879

Gill has been very busy all year and is writing in a very depressed frame of mind. Would like Clark to acquire for him a copy of his Certificate of Admission as he has lost the original and will need it when he applies for jobs in Sydney. He has been appointed guardian of the children of the late Mr James of Hobart town and this is also causing him many headaches. Admonishes Clark for not sending the Hobart newspapers. C4/C11

Letter to Andrew Inglis Clark, Tasmania from Walter T. Gill, Melbourne 28 May 1878

From the last letters he has received from both Clark and Ivey Gill seems to think they suspect him of inattention to the matters that were requested of him and proceeds to reason his working life. He has been head-hunted by another firm (which he declined), but was offered an increase in salary because of it. Requests Clark send him any papers containing legal news in Tasmania. - From Letters to Andrew Inglis Clark, Tasmania from Walter T. Gill 3 Aug 1874 - 12 Sept 1881, concerning Gill's legal career and life in Melbourne, his health, lodgings, money problems and reminiscences of life in Hobart, his friendship with Clark and literature.

Apologies for delay in answering Clark's last letter. He has very little to say and what he does have to say are just disappointments and moody forebodings.

Replying to Clark's letter requesting his opinion on a point of law. Gill has widely consulted with friends and colleagues and offers these opinions.

Has again changed lodgings and with only 3 lodgers Gill is at last satisfied. However he is borne down by ennui, indifference and lethargy and is looking forward to a Christmas visit to Tasmania to evoke new energy into his life. Notes some thoughts on poetry and his friends in Tasmania that help lift him out of the doldrums. - From Letters to Andrew Inglis Clark, Tasmania from Walter T.
