Box 1 (1-biographical materials), Folder 12
This series contains extensive correspondence - in English, German, and French - Ehrmann maintained with his colleagues, friends, publishers, other scholars, and various institutions after his arrival in the United States. Letters from former German prisoners-of-war taught by Ehrmann during the reeducation program at Forts Kearney, Getty and Wetherill, R.I., and Fort Eustis, VA. form another significant part of the correspondence series.
General correspondence reflects Ehrmann's professional and private relationships with friends, colleagues, fellow scholars, publishers, editors, and various educational and professional organizations in the United States, France, and Germany. The sub-series contains correspondence with such institutions as the US Senate (including John F. Kennedy's letter to the Ehrmann's), Department of State, and many universities in the USA and abroad. There are also letters from Robert Oppenheimer, Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, Eleanor Roosevelt, and correspondence that originated in reaction to Ehrmann's letter on Martin Luther King (published in The New York Times in 1969).
