Fix this text13th January,1972
Fix this textDear Professor Yoken,
Fix this textYour letter of the 14th December
Fix this textreached Sir Robert Menzies* Office after
Fix this texthe had been taken to hospital with a stroke
Fix this textand, therefore, I have not had an opportunity
Fix this textto mention it to him, I know he will be
Fix this textinterested to read it but, in the meantime,
Fix this textI thought perhaps I could answer one of
Fix this textyour queries.
Fix this textAt the moment, Sir Robert is
Fix this textChancellor of the University of Melbourne;
Fix this textis Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports of
Fix this textEngland, which is an honorary title these
Fix this textdays but is conferred by Her Majesty the
Fix this textQueen. In connection with this post,
Fix this textWalmer Castle (about 9 miles north of Dover)
Fix this textis his headquarters and he spends about
Fix this textsix weeks a year in residence.
Fix this textSince his retirement in 1966, he
Fix this texthas been Scholar in Residence at the
Fix this textUniversity of Virginia, U.S.A., and did a
Fix this textseries of seven lectures there and about ten
Fix this textfor other Universities or Colleges.
Fix this textHe has written two books about
Fix this texthis life and work - Afternoon Light'* and
Fix this text"The Measure of the Years",
Fix this textThe Lectures at the University
Fix this textof Virginia were put into book form entitled
Fix this text"Central Power in the Australian Commonwealth".
Fix this textAll these books were published byn
Fix this textCassells, England, although "Central Power"
Fix this textwas also published by the University of
Fix this textVirginia and the press,
Fix this textI think only Sir Robert can answer
Fix this textyour question as to what he considers the
Fix this texthighlight of his career.
Fix this textYours sincerely,
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
