Found Poem in Mandela's Letters

FROM THE LETTER TO LT. BADENHORST, CO,

ROBBEN ISLAND PRISON,

FROM NELSON MANDELA, 4 APRIL 1971

INFORMING HIM OF TWO MISSING FOOLSCAP NOTEBOOKS

FROM HIS CELL, HOLDING COPIES OF HIS CORRESPONDENCE,

AND,

            When you're pressed for information,

            you know you've got to play it dumb.

                        Leonard Cohen, Waiting for the Miracle

My silver Parker T Ball pen has also disappeared

I ask you to investigate the matter and have this article replaced

Give me the information and the date when they will be returned to me
