Dear Prof. Williams,
     I assume that you must be aware that Laxmanrao Sardessai's son, Manohar 
Rai Sardessai, was also a poet, who wrote poetry in three 
languages---Portuguese, English and French, and possibly also in Marathi. I 
contacted Manohar Rai Sardessai's son Sunil on your behalf and he has just told 
me that you can send him an email at sardessa...@gmail.com. He will then talk 
to his mother and have her grant you the permission you need.
    If you tell me which Goan poets you are featuring, I may just be able to 
add one or two more to your list.
    With thanks and deep appreciation for what you are doing,
    Victor Rangel-Ribeiro (author of the novel 'Tivolem' and other works)

Dear Sir,

I am Professor Frederick G. Williams, a member of the Department of Spanish and 
Portuguese of Brigham Young University, Provo, UT, USA.  I am seeking help in 
finding the son or grandson of poet Laxmanrao Sardessai (1904-1986) and also of 
poet Raghunath Vishnu Pandit (1917-1990), in order to obtain permission to 
include some of their poems in Portuguese in a forthcoming book of mine, 
entitled Poets of Portuguese Asia: Goa, Macao, East Timor.

I would very much appreciate any email contacts you could give me that would 
help me get in touch with them.

Thank you,
Frederick G. Williams
