Editor,

I am writing to ask for copies of papers that have articles about Sheriff Minteh. I knew him and I heard of his death when I was in Senegal and I would like cuttings or articles about him. I want to keep them. Sir/ Madam, I would very much appreciate it if you help me with this. While I look forward to hearing from you, I remain. Ebrahima Nyassi.

Editor’s Note: Ebrima, you don’t say where you are. If you are in The Gambia, come into the Observer offices, and even The Point offices, and see if we have anything to copy for you. If you are abroad, I am afraid we may not have anything on Sheriff Minteh recently archived – but see what you can find on other Gambian websites like Allgambian.net and Gambia-L.
