Answer 2

The Christies catalog which listed the item for sale will have a description of the text. A large public library may have a copy or you could check out Christies' Auction House or Hunter Davies' books on the Beatles.

..

Lennon received a letter from a pupil at Quarry Bank Grammar School, which he had attended. The writer mentioned that the English master was making his class analyse Beatles lyrics (Lennon wrote an answer, dated September 1, 1967, which was auctioned by Christie's of London in 1992). Lennon, amused that a teacher was putting so much effort into understanding Beatles lyrics, wrote the most confusing lyric he could. Lennon's friend and former fellow member of The Quarrymen, Peter Shotton, was visiting, and Lennon asked Shotton about a playground nursery rhyme they sang as children.

Shotton remembered:

    "Yellow matter custard, green slop pie,

    All mixed together with a dead dog's eye,

    Slap it on a butty, ten foot thick,

    Then wash it all down with a cup of cold sick".[4]

Lennon borrowed a couple of words, added the three unfinished ideas and the result was "I Am the Walrus". Beatles official biographer Hunter Davies was present while the song was being written and wrote an account in his 1968 book on the band.
