dear Monsieur Baulin,

I would just like to thank you again for the great help which you gave me in letting me use your library for my research in Paris. My wife and i are presently in Rouen waiting for a boat to Abidjan. We are scheduled to arrive in Abidjan around the 16th of November, and will procede from there to Niamey. Please consider that you have a standing invitation from my wife and myself to visit our home in Niger, if you are in the country within the next 9 months or so. I am sure than anyone connected with I. F. A.N. would be able to tell you where we were living in Niger, i will be returning to Paris next summer and may have the opportunity of seeing you then.In any case, thank you again for you kind assistance.

Yours truly,

John D.Collins
