"20 alleged supporters of the Kelly gang between 3 January 1879 and 22 April 1879 under the ""Felons Apprehension Act 1878"". This cemented public support for the gang especially in northeast Victoria. Joe Byrne was able to use this support to advantage by penning a number of bush ballads about the exploits of Kelly and his gang: ""My name is Ned Kelly, I'm known adversely well. My ranks are free, my name is law, Wherever I do dwell. My friends are all united, my mates are lying near. We sleep beneath shady trees, No danger do we fear."" Joe Byrne"
"1880. The original was returned to Edwin Living after Kelly's trial and execution. Kelly's document was first called the ""Jerilderie Letter"" by author Max Brown in his 1948 biography of Kelly called ""Australian Son"". Brown included the letter in full in his book and introduced it as an ""8,300 word statement I have called The Jerilderie Letter"". The Jerilderie Letter is 56 pages long and contains approximately 8000 words. It is written in the first person on notepaper 20.3 x 12.5 cm in size. There is little punctuation and it is not grammatically correct, however it contains very few spelling"

Berry is portrayed as receiving Kelly's now famous Jerilderie Letter and reading it out loud to the officers in charge of the hunt, though in reality, Berry was never sent the letter, nor was it ever intended to be sent to him. Graham Berry Sir Graham Berry, (28 August 1822 – 25 January 1904), Australian colonial politician, was the 11th Premier of Victoria. He was one of the most radical and colourful figures in the politics of colonial Victoria, and made the most determined efforts to break the power"
"28 June 1880. Kelly, dressed in home-made plate metal armour and helmet, was captured and sent to jail. He was hanged for murder at Old Melbourne Gaol in November 1880. His daring and notoriety made him an iconic figure in Australian history, folklore, literature, art and film. Some bushrangers, most notably Ned Kelly in his Jerilderie Letter, and in his final raid on Glenrowan, explicitly represented themselves as political rebels. Attitudes to Kelly, by far the most well-known bushranger, exemplify the ambivalent views of Australians regarding bushranging.

Of his first reading of the Jerilderie Letter Carey said: Somewhere in the middle Sixties, I first came upon the 56-page letter which Kelly attempted to have printed when the gang robbed the bank in Jerilderie in 1879. It is an extraordinary document, the passionate voice of a man who is writing to explain his life, save his life, his reputation … And all the time there is this original voice - uneducated but intelligent, funny and then angry, and with a line of Irish invective that would have made Paul"

The first, known as the Cameron Letter, was sent to Donald Cameron, a member of the Victorian Parliament, in December 1878. Shorter than the Jerilderie Letter, it too was intended for a wide readership, but only a synopsis was published in the press.

However, Kelly's defence counsel objected to the copy of the letter being tendered as evidence.
