Description	The file contains a handwritten draft copy of a William story; draft copy created in c1965-c1967.

Some of the items used for scrap paper include: - Pages from annotated, typed draft copies of William stories; draft copies created and annotated in c1965-c1967. - Accounts for royalties to be paid by George Newnes Limited, London, publishers, 1965-1967. - Accounts for royalties to be paid by Dymock's Book Arcade Ltd., Sydney, [Australia], [booksellers], 1964. At the front of the file is: - A typed title page for "William Finds a Real Adventure" (annotated to give the title "Sponsored Walk") [suggesting that the handwritten draft copy in the file may be for the story "William and the Sponsored Walk"]; title page created and annotated in c1965-c1967. - A page from an annotated, typed draft copy of a William story; draft copy created and annotated in c1965-c1967.
