Fix this textDear Menzies,
Fix this textYqu will. I'm sure, have forgotten my existence
Fix this textduring the last six or seven eventful months; my excuse for re-
Fix this textminding you of my presence in this country is that I am on the
Fix this textpoint of leaving it. I begin my return journey to Australia the
Fix this textday after tomorrow and am due to reach Sydney by the MONTEREY on
Fix this textJanuary 28th and to disembark at Melbourne on February 1st.
Fix this textI shall not burden you with details of the way in
Fix this textwhich I have spent the six months since I last wrote to you. Ex-
Fix this textcept fpr the couple of months when I was at the Legation licking
Fix this textstamps etc for Casey immediately after Keith Officer 1 s departure,
Fix this textI have been very much on the move - in Chicago and the Middle
Fix this textWest; in the‘southern States of North Carolina, Alabama and Tenn-
Fix this textessee; in New York, Boston and other New England cities. I recent-
Fix this textly arrived in California after a three weeks trip across Canada,
Fix this textduring which I talked to branches of the Canadian Institute of
Fix this textInternational Affairs in Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Regina,Sask-
Fix this textatoon, Calgary, Edmonton and Victoria B.C., on "Australia in the
Fix this textPresent War". During the intervals of collecting information on
Fix this textAmerican opinion, I have managed to deliver myself of some thirty
Fix this textto forty pages on the Australian section of the forthcoming Harvard
Fix this textvolume on THE BRITISH COMONWEALTH AT WAR, edited by Professor W.Y.
Fix this textElliott. I have today also posted back to Boston the galley proofs
Fix this textof a fifty-page booklet on THE UNITED STATES AND AUSTRALIA. This
Fix this textis to be published at the end of January, with an introduction by
Fix this textthe Master of one of the Colleges at Yale, as the first of a
Fix this text3erie3 of pamphlets on America and World Affairs which one of the
Fix this textFoundations is to inflict on the unsuspecting American public. In
Fix this textboth these jobs I have tried to be objective; I hope nevertheless
Fix this textthat the result may not be entirely without value to a cause which
Fix this textwe both support.
Fix this textMy immediate purpose in writing is to tell you that
Fix this textI am at your disposal in any way which you or any of your colleagues
Fix this textmay care to use me during the month of February. I have made tenta-
Fix this texttive plans to spend the first ten days of that month in Melbourne,
Fix this textthen to visit Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane before returning to
Fix this textMelbourne and,thereafter, to have a couple of days in Adelaide
Fix this textbefore resuming my duties at the University of Western Australia
Fix this textearly in March.
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
