Notes:
'"Squeaker's Mate" is the only Barbara Baynton story for which a manuscript is known to survive. This ... is now held by the Mitchell Library. A note on the side of the first page indicates that it was purchased from A. G. Stephens in January 1932. The first nine pages are in typescript, the remaining fifteen in Baynton's handwriting. There are a few corrections made by Baynton in black ink and many more in A. G. Stephens's notorious purple ink. A clean typescript, incorporating both Baynton's and Stephens's corrections is held in the Hayes collection of the Fryer Library, University of Queensland.' (Elizabeth Webby, 'Barbara Baynton's Revisions to "Squeaker's Mate."' )
      ca. 1902-1910 .
