Extent1 page
DescriptionManuscript, autographed, undated, unpublished variant of his poem, 'The Fisher.' The opening stanza of the published poem is missing, and the third stanza also has two different lines from the published version. There are numerous lexical differences e.g. Murray uses 'billy' rather than 'crony', 'modest gless' rather than 'canny gless.'

'The Fisher' was originally printed in the late 1920s, later published in 'The Last Poems' (1969).
