Content Summary:

This instalment was donated by Heather Henderson and, similarly to the previous addition, much of it relates to Series 11 (Papers of Dame Pattie)

The letters include correspondence with the Palace regarding honours conferred on Dame Pattie and Sir Robert Menzies, as well as two personal notes from Prince Charles. Other correspondence relates to the posthumous publication of an interview with Sir Robert by David McNicoll, and the publication of the biography of Sir Robert.

The majority of the collection consists of Christmas cards and greetings from many prominent people, 1939 - 1994. The majority of these are from the Queen and other members of the Royal family; as well as Christmas greetings from British Prime Ministers and other Heads of State.

The addition also includes a number of commissions, degrees and certificates conferred on Sir Robert Menzies; as well as a file of family photographs and another of official photographs, where the majority relate to visits of the Royal family to Australia.
