Mr. Vasiliki Sarant Publicity Director Hill and Wang, Inc. 141 Fifth Avenue New York 10, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Sarant:
Thank you for your letter and the galleys of Anyplace But Here, underlined
which arrived a few days ago.
If you care to, you can quote us on the jacket. You can take
it from the following:
"Anyplace But Here" underlined is more timely now than when it first appeared as They Seek A City underlined some years ago. The cityward trend of Negroes in recent years has been fantastic, and the city has provided the setting for the current struggle for equality. With greater per- spective than they could possibly have had twenty years ago and with' an abundance of up-to-date material, Bontemps and Conroy have given us an excellent account, rich in drama as well as detail, of one of the really great migrations of all times."
Sincerely yours,
John Hope Franklin
Professor of American History
