- Summary:
-
Xavier Herbert was a prolific and entertaining letter writer. Although many of his letters survive, few have been published. They reveal a reclusive and deeply insecure man who relied on mail as a lifeline and a way of drawing attention to himself. At another level the letters show a concern for Aborigines.
