SIR ROBERT MENZIES  

95 Collins Street,  

Melbourne, Victoria,  

Australia. 3000  

13th January,1972  

Dear Professor Yoken,  

Your letter of the 14th December  

reached Sir Robert Menzies* Office after  

he had been taken to hospital with stroke  

and, therefore, have not had an opportunity  

to mention it to him, know he will be  

interested to read it but, in the meantime,  

thought perhaps could answer one of  

your queries.  

At the moment, Sir Robert is  

Chancellor of the University of Melbourne;  

is Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports of  

England, which is an honorary title these  

days but is conferred by Her Majesty the  

Queen. In connection with this post,  

Walmer Castle (about miles north of Dover)  

is his headquarters and he spends about  

six weeks year in residence.  

Since his retirement in 1966, he  

has been Scholar in Residence at the  

University of Virginia, U.S.A., and did  

series of seven lectures there and about ten  

for other Universities or Colleges.  

He has written two books about  

his life and work Afternoon Light'* and  

"The Measure of the Years",  

The Lectures at the University  

of Virginia were put into book form entitled  

"Central Power in the Australian Commonwealth".  

All these books were published byn  

Cassells, England, although "Central Power"  

was also published by the University of  

Virginia and the press,  

think only Sir Robert can answer  

your question as to what he considers the  

highlight of his career.  

Yours sincerely,
