NATIONAL HUMANITIES CENTER P. O. Box 12256 RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NORTH CAROLINA 27709 January 4, 1982 Mr. James A. Emanuel 201, rue de Vaugirard, A7 75015 Paris, FRANCE Dear Mr. Emanuel: Thanks so much for your letter and for the poem that you so generously dedicated to me. I must say that I was very moved by its contents as well as your expression of regard. A great deal indeed has happened since 1947. Ob- viosly you have had an exciting and rewarding career. I have had one exciting experience after another; life has certainly not been dull. I am now on leave from the University of Chicago where I have served, since 1969, as the John Matthews Manly Distinguished Service Professor of History. Meanwhile, I am a Senior Fellow here at the National Humanities Center completing my book on George Washington Williams. When you return to the States next year I hope I will have the opportunity to see you again. Since you have some connection with the J. Hubbell Center at Duke, perhaps you will even be coming down at some time. In any event I wish for you a very good New Year and continued success in your work. Again, thanks and best wishes. Sincerely yours, [signature] John Hope Franklin JHF:mf Telephone 919-549-0661
