Letter from Robert [Leonard]
SHAF/A/1/L/34 · Item · 14-[15] Apr. 1982
Part of Papers of Sir Peter Shaffer

A possibly incomplete letter, lacking a close. Enjoyed Brisbane; spends time with Milos Forman's brother Paul [Pavel], a painter, and his son Paul who designs tiles. He writes from a train to Townsville, in which he is sharing a berth with a man from a lunatic asylum who is on a state holiday, who takes handfuls of lithium and is not dangerous; a cyclone has blocked the roads and rail to Cairns; some men on the train tell him that they know how to handle 'the Abo-black Bastards. They just kill them'. The letter ends with a note that he will write more later.
