41 Jerilderie Street, Jerilderie. In private ownership.

Shortly before 2pm on Monday 10 February 1879 Ned Kelly - in company with Trooper Richards and the Bank of NSW Teller, Edwin Living, - walked across the road from the Royal Mail Hotel in search of the Editor of the Jerilderie and Urana Gazette, Samuel Gill, to give him the now famous Jerilderie Letter and have several copies printed for future circulation.

By this time Gill was aware of the gang's presence in Jerilderie and had left on foot for Carrah Farm from where information could be sent on to Deniliquin police.

When informed by Mrs Gill that her husband was not home and refusing to take possession of the Jerilderie Letter, Ned gave the manuscript to Living who promised to pass it on to Gill on his return home; a promise which was never kept.
