members of the family.  

know very well that you had, at various times,  

entertained strong hopes that the work would be  

finished within short space of time. In May 1978  

you wrote to Mrs Henderson that you expected to have the  

book finished in time for publication in the European  

Spring of 1979. In October last year you told Mrs Henderson  

that the book would be finished within six months. In  

December you told Dame Pattie Menzies and Mr Ken Menzies that,  

by the middle of January you would suggest names of people  

who might be approached to help you finish the book.  

Nothing further has been heard from you on this matter.
