Letter to Anthony Suter December 27 1975

Resource added
Full address to use: James A. Emanuel - WARSAW C/o American Consulate General Seismeuerstrasse 21 600 Frankfurt/Main Aliemagne Fédérale (27.12.75) Dear Anthony I've learned that some mail does not reach me, especi- ally that from America; and when I do get mail, it comes in heaps. Just before leaving Warsaw for Paris, I received a large envelope full of forwarded letters. Thus, I've spent much of my holiday answering accumulated letters, about 45 in all. Congratulations on the acceptance of your collection! I look forward to receiving a copy (at the above address), and let me know the cost, for I know that giving books away can become expensive. I'm not sure whether I'll get to Toulouse or not, this trip. I want to do some shopping there, or elsewhere, for consumer goods of many kinds that are non-existent or poor quality in Poland. But if I don't make it to Place St-Sernin, either because I don't come to Toulouse or because shopping (all the way from winter boots to screws for a collapsed table) consumes all of my allotted time, there will be other chances in '76. I haven't scheduled any poetry readings in France for this winter and spring, but I do have invitations to Budapest and Vienna so far - plus the Univ. of Pennsylvania, but when my re- cent letter reaches Philadelphia and it is discovered that I am in Poland, that invitation will be postponed, I'm sure. I did give a reading in Warsaw this month. Writing by hand, and writing small (a paper-saving habit ac- quired in Poland), I feel a sense of accomplishment in getting off so many letters. I've written the drafts of several poems in Warsaw; but since one carton of notes and books, mailed by me on 4 August when passing through New York, never reached me, I lose much time in Warsaw re-reading, re-note-taking, re-annotating, etc., in pre- parathion for classes. But Warsaw is interesting - and challenging. But one day we'll talk about Poland, among other things. Hello to Odile, and HAPPY NEW YEAR. Cordially, Jim
