For several years George Watts has been endeavoring to go to Chicago for research but his heavy duties as secretary-treasurer of American Association of Teachers of French, The French Review, have prevented. He and Helen have been in Chicago for October and November as resident research fellow at the Newberry Library, working in the John M. Wing collection of printing. For years George has been collecting material on a late 18th century French printer, friend of "Dr." Franklin, by the name of Pierres. The Wing Collection has lots of manuscript material.
