It is dated 3 April 1997 and was sent from King Scrub via Dayboro in Queensland where the Thieles lived after leaving Adelaide. <p>He is responding to a letter from his old Adelaide friend Alan Brissenden 1932-2020 academic noted scholar of Shakespeare writer and critic who had recently visited the Little Desert in Victoria's Wimmera district and in the first paragraph he writes about his love for the area. He encloses a photocopy of a recent newspaper article still present on the practice of modern plagiarism which leads him to a critical discussion of the actions of Helen Demidenko / Darville referencing her recent fortnightly columns in the 'Courier Mail' 'Her first piece was unbelievably awful. A few days later it was revealed that - yet again - she had pinched much of it verbatim from an American "professor" on the Internet'. Apparently plagiarism 'is actually taught as a technique at some universities . Incredible! We obviously live in "the new morality"'. <p>He finishes on a positive note still busy with publishers 'although I think it is about time I hung up my keyboard and retired to a hammock under the palm trees. Now I'll let you get on with your own work so that you can finish a book on Shakespeare with a bit of post-modern intertextualisation'. unknown
