Dear Professor Emanuel:
You may be surpriSed, upon receipt of the report of the recent meeting
of the AFEA ( Association Française d'Etudes Américaines) to discover that
you have been " appointed" as coordinator for the papers (to be presented at
our March Congress) which deal with the racial revolution in the U.S. Your
name was suggested by members who, know you and who said that no one was
better suited than you, by his experience and previous achievement, for
this responsibility. I wrote down your name, being the secretary, and did
not think about it until the forms were printed. Don't be angry with me, for
if this is a mistake, I must be judged responsible for it. If you do not
care about our Association, nor about the Congress, nor about being
coordinator, can you let me know? Maybe professor Wagner would replace you.
The reports have been sent to all members ( and Fullbright professors are
de jure members without fee), so you should get one soon. You will see
more precisely what all that is about. I am just writing now so that you are
not too surprised. Theodor Cross , whom I met some time ago, showed me
DARK SYMPHONY. I think both of you have done a very fine job. Writing a thesis
on Richard Wright and being quite interested in Afro-american literature,
although far less conversant with it than Jean Wagner, I would personally
like meeting you, one day , when you come to Paris. Maybe you and Theodor
could have a meal with us.
Very sincerely,

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,
