p2 Know any reason why this should have been done?

  I have been struggling against several degenerative diseases since I was forced

to retire in The fall of 1977 from teaching at Pembroke State University as professor emeritus where I was editor - founder of underline Pembroke Magazine /underline (1968-1978). I should have liked to publish something about you while I was there. After my retirement PSU brought out a special Norman Macleod issue of underline Pembroke Magazine, /underline The first 94 pages of which were about my life and work. In the latest issue of PM there were two of my recent poems (one in recollection of my mother who died in 1976 and the other one that I wrote while I was head of The English department at The University of Baghdad during The academic year of 1963-64). The next issue of underline Pembroke Magazine /underline will publish letters Archibald MacLeish wrote to me between 1968 & the date of his recent death.

 If you could have Lawrence Hill send me a copy of underline The Portable Jack Conroy

Reader /underline I would try to write a review of it for underline Pembroke Magazine, /underline but if my eyes turn out to be unequal to the task, I would get Victor Dalmar (who helped me with underline Pembroke Magazine /underline when I was the editor there for a few years before I returned) to write a review of the book for PM. In any case, I'd like to hear from you because of auld lang syne - Yours aye Norman
