OPPICE  

Dear Sir,  

wish to thank you for your letter of the 6th inst. One could  

hardly expect you to know personally every constituent of your Electorate,  

justified sine qua non for personal recommendation.  

My brother-in-law, Mr. Reginald Thomas, formerly of Kew, has  

attended school at Scotch College, His children are attending school at  

the Presbyterian Ladies College, Their grandfather is Sir John Saundy,  

former Lord Mayor of Hobart, with whom have had many talk and whom  

consider fighter for justice and human rights and great Australian.  

This is my family relationship in Australia, by marriage.  

My own relations are sports footwear manufacturers in Holland,  

(enclosed hereby pamphlet of the firm). Quick is known all over the world  

and its product is in great demand also in Australia. It is the biggest  

firm of its kind in the Benelux countries.  

could have met you personally at the opening ceremony of the new  

Presbyterian Ladies College, where happened to walk practically alongside  

you in the library.  

did not think the occasion to be appropriate to make your  

acquaintance, so foolishly let that golden opportunity slip. know you  

from your many addresses to the nation of which am proud to belong to.  

Although personally unknown to you, you are great enough to know  

me from my letters and the grounds on which have based my application,  

but appreciate that this may not be sufficient for personal recommendation  

to the Minister for the Department of Immigration.  

Thanking you sincerely for what you have done for me, and in  

anticipation for whatever you may be able to do for me in the future.  

Yours faxthfully,  

r. And copy tonight in of to off an es  

Sent (c/s) 16/10/59. A. J. Raaymakers.
