Nelson and Marian to family, 1958

Teaching at University of Bordeaux; during summer goes to Vichy for treatment for the jaundice that lingered since suffering from hepatitis. Mentions French Fellowship of Reconciliation; comparison of American and European Quakerism. In August, Nelson chaired an International Students Seminar at Ste.-Foy-la-Grande. In September, the family traveled to Eastern Europe. Marian’s passport attracted interest because its extension had first been cancelled because she refused to sign a non-communist statement, but then re-validated because the Supreme Court had come down with a decision that requiring a statement was unconstitutional. Nelson’s appointment was renewed for another academic year.
