熊式一致函先生，劝说竞争剑桥大学中文文学及语言讲座教授席位。
守和吾兄：
剑桥大学中文文学及语言讲座夏伦教授于十二月廿日逝世，继任人选未定，我辈国人之在此者热盼吾兄来此。盖投票人大多知吾兄，如（1）Prof. Walter Simon，（2）Prof. Eve Edwards皆在伦敦大学，（3）Arthur Waley居伦敦50 Gordon Square, London, W. C. 1,（4）Prof. Homer H. Dubs在牛津大学，（5）Prof. E. R. Dodds，Christ Church Oxford。在剑桥者三人，为（6）Prof. H. W. Bailey梵文教授，一为（7）Prof. N. B.□□□□□语言学教授，此外，尚有一人，弟不记其姓名，（8）为埃及学教授Prof. S. R. K. Glanville。夏殁后，各派均欲得此席，但多资望不足，故彼此反对，恐皆难得此八人之通过。Joseph Needham与吾兄亦有旧，吾兄亦可与之商酌，若能速速来此一游，顺便与此八人之中五六人见面谈之，更易成功也；若通信则只好与颇有交情之人商酌，且书信来往亦易误事，如能速来，则此八人之中虽有不熟悉者亦可介绍见面倾谈，至投票时当可生效，此乃为国家争地位，想吾兄不怪弟之多事也。按剑大之中文教授一席，自夏伦来后极力扩充图书，现已略有基础，若吾兄继任，则定可冠全欧矣。前数年，陈寅恪兄不就牛津，以至今日如此。若陈寅恪今日在牛津，则只须牛津一提吾兄，定可获选也，惜哉惜哉。故尤望吾兄能来此，将来国人皆全赖吾兄也。此外，剑大图书馆长H. R. Creswick想吾兄与之有交谊，彼当与剑大之三投票人熟悉，可为吾兄介绍也。匆此，顺颂俪福。令郎来牛津事如何？

按：“夏伦教授”即Gustav Haloun，研究诸子百家、大月氏、管子等，1939年担任剑桥大学汉学讲席教授。Prof. Eve Edwards即Evangeline Edwards, 1937年担任远东学院院长。Prof. Homer H. Dubs（1892-1969），美国汉学家，中文名德效骞，1947年赴牛津大学担任汉学讲席教授。Prof. E. R. Dodds即Eric R. Dodds（1893-1979），英国古典学家，专攻希腊文化，1942年曾访华，与先生有往来。Prof. H. W. Bailey即Harold W. Bailey（1900-1996），1936年至1967年任剑桥大学梵文教授，通译作“贝利”。Prof. N. B.□□□□□，熊式一此处有涂抹，待考。Prof. S. R. K.

先生致信陈受颐，告知剑桥大学汉学讲座教授席位暂虚并拟推荐。
受颐吾兄著席：
弟于日前携眷来此，以途中遇雪，由盐湖而南经Las Vegas, Bakersfield等地而达金山，虽多留二日，尚属幸运也。寅恪之书如尚未寄华京，请寄此间为盼。顷闻剑桥大学汉文讲座Prof. Haloun突然作古，继任人选正在考虑之中，英人虽主张聘用英人，但资望不足难得其选，势须延聘华人。敝意以吾兄担任最为理想，未识有意前往否？弟及适之均可推荐也。闻剑桥方面组织一小委员会，考虑继任人选，以Waley, Dubs, Dodds, Simon, Edward, Bailey诸人组织之，如投票时能得大多数之票，即可获选。因此职为国家争地位，故愿奉告，即希赐予考虑是幸。如Claremont方面不易摆脱，未识心目中有无适当之人，并乞便中示及为幸。匆匆，顺颂教祺。

Dear Mr. Yuan:
I trust that you must have had a very wonderful time back East with your family. How is Mrs. Yuan and other members of your family? Has Mrs. Yuan come West with you? I hope she does.
Mr. Mok & I want to thank you very much for the most beautiful piece of jade you sent us. It arrived in good condition.
Thank you also very much for the reference you so kindly gave me regarding the words Mr. Rudolph asked me. He said he found them in容媛's金石书录目under金类on p. 2：考古图-北平图书馆藏明刻黑字本. Do you think the words黑字should be墨子？
As we are unable to buy books from China for some time, I feel more free now. I think I can do some research work in my house. Will you advise me what I should do? Any Chinese books about literatures, printing, books etc. worthwhile translating?
Following your advice on buying stocks, I have bought some last December and I am beginning to receive some dividends now. But I think the prices are too high now. I might buy some more when they come down a little.
Regarding two books you asked me to get for you, I have not heard from the girl yet. As soon as she comes to the Library, I will ask her again.
With kindest regards to you & your family.
Sincerely,
Man-hing Yue Mok

Mr. J. F. Ford
British Embassy
Peking
Dear Mr. Ford:
In spite of my silence, I have been thinking of you and your work quite often. I trust that you are enjoying your stay and that Mrs. Ford and children are doing well. I hear that Professor Emperson has left for England and I hope you may give me his address, if you know it.
I am writing to ask for a favor. Mr. Wang Chung-min, the Acting Director of the National Peiping Library, asked me some time ago to collect some money from the Library of Congress for him. In doing so, he should sign a statement（Power of Attorney）before the British Counsel in Peking who will put his signature and seal.
Since I have difficulties in communicating with Mr. Wang, may I request you to get in touch with him and request him to appear before the British Counsel? If he does not want to come to the Consulate, could you or Mr. Bryan call on him, or arrange with him to meet at a certain place, in order to have him sign the power of attorney. Please explain to him that if he does not sign, this account will be closed on June 30, 1952. After that date it would be extremely difficult to claim this amount.
I shall greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter and I hope you could send me the power of attorney after it has been signed and properly sealed. Please ask your friend in Hong Kong to mail it to me by air-mail, if possible.
I have been wondering whether your translation of the Fung Ling's diary will soon be published. Have you got time to work on Hsueh Fu Cheng's travels to Europe?
We have been living at Palo Alto, Calif. And we enjoy our stay here very much. We shall spend some time in England before we return to China.
With sincere thanks and kindest regards,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

守和先生阁下：
叠奉来示，敬悉种切。转寄北平图书馆之书包共七包，经已收齐，即改地址交邮付去，想不日当可到达也。该费另列后，最近付下美钞五元，亦已妥收。代购女内衣背心共四件（最大号者）由包裹邮付上，并代定香港《大公报》三个月，自本月廿一号起寄发也。补购《新华月报》及《人民手册》，经代搜集无从购得，即告知蔚林公司，而其回覆则谓该刊不准出口，搜求亦不易得等语。《新华月报》自去年四月起，已不发海外矣；《人民手册》1951亦售罄，1952未出版，如有消息定当代购付上。截至现在止，尊账告一段落，尚余港银一元二角在晚处，计算如下：第一次美钞五元找得港银三十三。六元，第二次美钞五元找得港银三十三。一元，即共来港银六十六。七元，支数为十一月十七日邮票一元，十二月十五日航邮二元，十八日食经二元，廿二日航邮二元，廿四日邮票一元，一月十五日《中国史地词典》九元，二月十八日寄北平圕书籍七包邮费共十五。四元、车银八毛，订《大公报》三个月连邮费每月十七元，共银十八。六元，女内背心四件十二元，寄费十七元，共支银六十五。五元是也，特此奉闻。赐还各剪报已收到二次，《北游纪实》由十月十四日至十一月廿六日，至十月二十日《文汇报》港闻一则及《救援难胞的话》一则、《陈君葆的坏人观》一则，尚未见赐还，乞请示知为盼。敝馆所藏各大陆之杂志有《人民文学》、《人民周报》、《人民音乐》、《人民诗歌》、《人民教育》、《人民戏剧》、《文学学习》、《文艺新地》、《文艺报》、《天风》、《中国青年》、《世界知识》、《自然科学》、《科学通报》、《现代妇女》、《华南文艺》、《华南青年》、《新中华》、《新儿童教育》、《新建设》、《新观察》、《时事手册》、《新教育》、《电世界》、《说说唱唱》、《广东教育与文化》、《语文学习》、《学习》、《学习知识》、《翻译通报》共三十种而已。至国内各大学教授名单，陈馆长亦无有，而一时记不得许多姓名也，待迟日有刊物纪载时当付上也。前代寄发大陆各信件，时至今日并无收有回件，亦以为念，倘有得收定当转呈也。港中各样如常，乏善可陈。专此，敬请著安。

钱存训覆函先生，告知硕士论文已提交并拟继续攻读博士学位，请赐中国古代印刷的史料。
守和先生尊鉴：
前奉手示，藉悉月前过芝，途中为大雪所阻，绕道方抵金山，谅多辛苦。久拟作书奉候，奈以学期又将结束，论文不能再延，故周前始将全稿打毕缴卷，因篇幅过长，所费不赀约化百余元，幸校方批评尚佳，堪以告慰。兹附奉大纲一份，并乞指示。现因Creel及图书馆学校之怂恿，故又决定继续读Ph. d学位，或可得一免费奖学金，即可免缴学费。因每学期只能选读一班，中文系又要加教“现代文选”两班，故不知时间能否分配，希望两三年内可告一段落也。论文题目尚未决定，拟将中国古籍之时代及作者做一系统的研究，不知值得做博士论文否？（Creel现拟译《战国策》，嘱共同研究其时代及作者，故想兼及他书，可作论文之一部材料。）惟个人兴趣仍在现代，不知尚有其他值得研究之题目否，乞先生多加指示，并建议一二题目以资参考，是所至幸。
又先生前在旧金山宣读论文《中国古代图书馆之发展》，如有副本，不知能赐借一读否？又四月间此间有一系列之公开演讲，训担任之题目为“中国书与印刷”，同时并拟举办一中国印刷展览，倘有相同材料，并乞指示为祷。
新居已定，想有一番忙碌，西部天气宜人，当可稍享安居读书之福也。匆匆，顺颂双绥，并问尊府均吉。

公垂吾兄惠鉴：
奉到手教并论文大纲，欣悉种切。论文内容及体裁均佳，以之充作博士论文，足可应选。兹拟再选题目另作博士论文，足征好学不倦，至为钦佩。《古籍之时代及作者》一文，亦一极大贡献，似可先参考荷兰华侨某君所作之《白虎通》Leiden大学出版，戴文达教授指导，再作决定。此人于1949年夏间来美，曾到芝加哥，不识晤面否？近日杂务相缠，未及详为考虑，一俟稍暇，当选择一二，以供参考。前在加大宣读之论文仅限十分钟，故内容欠佳，刻拟稍事稍改，送Library Sci. Quart.，不识该刊收此项稿件否？一俟打好再行奉上。适之先生近在普仁斯敦举行中国印刷展览，恐无展览目录，前已函询，俟得复音再行函达。吴子明兄在L. C.常常陈列此类图籍，再参考渠所写各文，足供参考。在德国Mainz地方Gutenberg学会年鉴中亦有关于中国印刷之论文，不识已见及否？匆复，顺颂著祺。

Quart应指The Library Quarterly，上世纪五十年代该刊并未发表过署名为T. L. Yuan的文章，1952年10月刊行的第22卷第4期有钱存训的文章A History of Bibliographic Classification in China（《中国书目分类的历史》）。1952年2月20日至4月20日，胡适在普林斯顿大学图书馆主持举办“中国书展览”并撰写了展览序言，题为Eleven Centuries of Chinese Printing: an exhibition of books from the Gest Oriental Library。Gutenberg学会年鉴应为Gutenberg-Jahrbuch，1926年创刊，刊登印刷史研究论文，尤其针对早期印刷术、摇篮本。

Dear Prof. Hung:
I have read with much interest your article on the Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty. If you should have reprints of this as well as those of other articles, may I request you to spare a copy for my use? I am looking forward to your forthcoming book on Tu Fu. Will it be published by the Harvard University Press?
Sometime ago Prof. Fang Hao方豪applied for a fellowship from the Harvard-Yenching Institute. I trust that by this time your Trustees may have reached a decision in regard to his application. Could you inform me whether he has had any chance in this regard?
There was a UP report from H. K. to the effect that various colleges of Yenching have been amalgamated with Tsing Hua and the Peking University. If you happen to have further information from Yenching, I hope you will drop me a note.
My daughter will be studying chemistry at the Graduate School at Harvard in the fall. I shall ask her to call on you and Mrs. Hung when she gets there.
With kindest regards,
Yours sincerely,

New York, N. Y.
Dear Dr. Fenn:
I greatly appreciate your courtesy in finding out the Chinese names of several scholars whose scientific writings I was particularly interested. For similar matters I had written to my old friend Mr. Li Siao-yuan at Nanking. But in view of the situation prevailing there, I thought it best not to write to him at least for the time being.
Dr. Martin Yang told me recently that you are making plans to bring out a series of books relating to American policy toward China and Southeast Asia. This program interests me very much, as there has been so much misunderstanding on the part of these peoples concerning American motives and ideals.
As you may recall, I wrote a short article（in Chinese）during the war on Sino-American cultural relations. It was published by the Institute of Chinese-American Cultural Relations at Chungking, but I have no copies at hand. It could be enlarged and new materials should be added. If you are interested in bringing out booklets of this and similar kind, I shall be glad to assist you in this undertaking.
My bibliographical work here is not pressing, so I have plenty of time for writing monographs of this kind.
With sincere greetings and kind regards.
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

由季陶兄转缄敬悉。返台港研究经济问题，乃万不得已之计划，如能来美，则研究对象或将改写，但来美之事，困难重重。迄今为止，尚觉无把握，弟已坐候两年零七个月，耐心几乎销磨罄静，惟以吾兄及诸老友，仍不断多方挈助，如有万分之一之希望，自仍当努力进行。实在绝望，即当遄返台港，另寻出路。南美生活虽低，而文化环境太劣，即普通读物（英文）亦多陈旧缺略，欲从事研究绝不可能。闻孙恭度兄云，日本英文旧籍甚多，而对东方问题资料大为丰富，劝弟于返台港后，设法赴日，此亦是一种计划，须东返后乃能决定。顺颂俪祺。不具。

拉铁摩尔覆函先生，谈其外蒙古著述的进展。
July 8th 1952
Dear Dr. Yuan,
Many thanks for your note of July 3rd. I am delighted to hear that you have been keeping up your interest in Outer Mongolia.
The book on which Peter Onon and I have been working is not an autobiography, but a biography of SukeBatur. Peter is not in this morning, and I do not have the manuscript at hand, but my recollection is that the Revolutionary Mongolian People's Party was created not in 1918, but in 1919 and 20, and not in Moscow but in a series of meetings, first in Urga, and then in Kyakhta and Verkhny Udisk. After this, a group of delegates of the new party did proceed to Moscow, but neither SukeBatur nor Choibalsang was in the party.
I think you will find the essential facts confirmed in a recent Chinese translation of the “official” biography of the late Choibalsang by Tsedenbal. Hoover Library has this, and Mary Wright knows about it, because she drew it to my attention. It contains numerous quotations from Choibalsng's “Short History of the Revolution.”
We are still hoping to get out to California for a few weeks in August and September.
If we can do so, it will be a great pleasure to see you again.
Very sincerely,
Owen Lattimore

方恩覆函先生，告知此前杨懋春转述的书系主题有误，而且以汇编报纸和杂志文章为主。
July 9, 1952
Dear Dr. Yuan:
It was a pleasure to hear of you and to learn of your interest in our literature program.
I fear that Dr. Yang gave you a not entirely correct impression of the plans we have in mind. There is no thought of books on American policy or on cultural relations. Rather we are concerned with providing for Chinese in Southeast Asia effective statements of important democratic and Christian values and ideals. Most of these will be in the form of newspaper or magazine articles.
We appreciate your offer of help and, if it turns out that we need anything of the sort you suggest, we shall be only too happy to turn to you.
With warm regards and best wishes, I am,
Cordially yours,
William P. Fenn

董作宾致函先生，告琐事缠身，欲赴美讲学。
……弟近来被拉抱任事务太多，弄到绝对不能工作。兄知弟非好事者，半辈子不作主管人，不做官，为的专心把一门学问弄好，现在一天到晚，为杂事纠缠，愈来愈多。（弟血压高，有随时找孟真兄去的危险！）弟年近六十（实57），尚能作工之时日已不多矣，如此下去，这一世就完了。现在惟一的希望，是换一环境，做一点结束的工作。弟自芝大返国，许多书稿未带回，为的是再去一趟。前两年有带家眷的问题，现在弟可以只身前往了。如果能在美讲学一两年，多少可以续几文养家，并自己写出一点东西，私愿已足，并非贪图大名大利。
此间旧友如济之，现在工作极努力，安阳发掘总报告，不久可以付印一部分了。史语所出来的人有一半，多在台大兼课。史语所无基础，打算造一点房子，现仍无把握。孟真去世后，研究所由弟负责维持，贫困家弱，为一病夫，较之北平、南京，不胜今昔之感！望吾兄有以接教护助之！专颂旅安！

方豪覆函先生，感谢协助申请哈佛燕京学社访学，并告其在西班牙、葡萄牙访查档案文献之收获。
守和先生大鉴：
昨（廿二日）自马德里来此，欣奉大教。哈佛之事，多承鼎力推介，成与不成同深感激。赴美旅费弟可自筹，惟此事只好俟诸明年，因此次来欧旅费之一部分系预支《中西交通史》第一册及《华侨史》稿费，故必须赶回台湾完成。明年如能写《中西交通史》第二、三册及《台湾史》，则赴美旅费亦不成问题矣。但东京大学有约弟赴日之议，西班牙方面拟邀弟在该国工作一二年，协助纂辑中班字典，一切均在未定之天。
此次在Sevilla之Archivo General de Indias获见马尼拉古地图多帧，颇可见华侨□兴衰之迹及有关郑成功史料，均已摄影或抄录。在里斯本国会档案室更得读澳门中文资料，凡四大包，约计一千数百件。馆长坚约弟编目，时不我许，只编至四百七十二号（工作时间仅限上午十一时至下午四时，极不合理，弟往往不用午饭，忍饥为之），皆为清代最盛时代及初衰时代之中西交通史料，举凡英美势力之初渐、鸦片之取缔、俄国第一艘船之东驶澳门、租银之催交与缴付、中国官吏之视察，以及越界造屋等无不齐备。中葡势力之消长极为明显。馆长任事已三十余年，谓从无一人加以利用，现在未编目之文件亦已经弟详为检阅、择要摄影。此次在葡京时又适遇Boxer、Braga等学人，同聚一处，至为愉快。某司铎发明桌上读Microfilm机，弟购得全世界第二部，现仍在改进中，但已为人定去六、七架，价位在一千葡币，至为方便。久无适之先生消息，便中祈代致意。时值溽暑，海外羁旅，更宜为学珍卫。不一一。

裘开明覆函先生。大意如下：
很抱歉我们还没有核对完1950年和1951年的新书目录，遵照你的建议，我们向香港Willing Book Co.购买了这两部书。事实上，我们还没有完成对Wayne Altree先生所购的全部新书的编目工作，这些书是Altree先生在香港为胡佛图书馆买书时顺便帮我们买的。但是草编目录纸片已经排入公共检索四角号码目录。因此对于我们来说查找馆藏新书并不难。另外，如果你想知道你需要的书我馆是否有藏，我们将很乐意帮你检索任何专门的文献或简目。关于获得学社资助的人选名单，秘书处说名单尚不完整，入选名单要等到11月份以后才能确定，届时将会在哈佛大学名录上公布。但是我知道台湾大学的方豪教授不在入选名单上。我们已经购买了一套《四部要籍序跋》。非常感谢你的建议。

先生致信恒慕义，请其协助董作宾来美从事研究工作，希望可以留意有关基金会资助项目及其他学术资源。
Dear Dr. Hummel:
On the eve of your departure for the Far East, I hate to bother you with matters of no immediate concern to your mission. There is, however, one project which I have always been greatly interested, viz, the publication of the studies on Oracle Bones by Professor Tung Tso-Pin. In view of its importance to Sinology, I trust you would also take a similar interest.
While much has been published on the subject from the finds of An Yang excavations, there are still many more significant materials in the collection of “Academia Sinica” which have not been systematically studied. As Professor Tung is the only person capable of doing this kind of work, support should be given to him in order to enable him to devote his entire time to this work.
Letters received from Professor Tung indicate that he is now so heavily burdened with administrative work that he simply cannot find the time to do any scientific research. But since he had made rubbings of these bones with which he can work equally well, he wishes to come to the United States to continue the work on this project. This would be an ideal arrangement, if some institution in the United States would sponsor his visit. I know that both Chicago and Berkeley are very keen on this project, but financial difficulties have prevented its early realization.
It has occurred to me that the collection of oracle bones in the possession of Mr. Menzies deserves further study. If Professor Tung can come over, he and Mr. Menzies may find it desirable to collaborate together toward the early publication of the results. As both are not enjoying good health, it is of utmost importance that immediate support should be extended to them.
I feel that if it is not easy to arrange a visit from Professor Tung at this time, one of the Foundations should be approached with a view to obtaining a special grant for this project, so that Professor Tung may be relieved from administrative duties and may devote his entire time to research.
When you arrive at Taipeh, I hope you will get in touch with Professor Tung and see some of his work. On your return you may discuss further with Professor Creel, Dr. Graves and others, so that some concrete plan may be worked out at that time.
With best wishes for a most pleasant journey,
Sincerely yours,
T. L. Yuan

Dear Mr. Yuan,
It has been several months since our last correspondence. I am happy to know that two of your children are entering the graduate school. Time certainly flies rapidly. I always visualize that from Tsing Hua days to the present it is just a vivid wink of a colorful dream.
Mrs. Tai has been offered a position as the librarian of Lincoln Community School. She goes to her school library at 7.45 every morning from Mondays to Fridays and returns home at 5. p. m. From our flat to the school, it requires an hour in travel by train and bus. I stay at home to look after the flat, to shop some of our daily necessities and to study Spanish at my leisure.
I am very happy to know that you are given the opportunity to compile a Bibliography on China as a supplement to Cordier's. Your work will be much appreciated by scholars in future.
Mrs. Tai joins me in sending our kindest regards to Mrs. Yuan and yourself.
Yours sincerely,
T. C. Tai

Hamburg, 24th August, 1952
Dear Mr. Yuan,
I have still to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 18th June for which I thank you most sincerely. In the meantime, I received the seven photostats from the Library of Congress which I urgently need for my research work about Wang Cheng, I should like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your assistance in this matter. I understand the amount of Dollars 3.15 has been debited to your account by the Library of Congress for which I would like to reimburse yourself. I regret to inform you that I was unable to follow your request and pay DM 10.80 to Messrs. Harrassowitz & Co., as under the prevailing foreign exchange laws the payment in German currency of amounts due by a foreigner is not permitted. I, therefore, requested Mrs. von Winterfeldt who is at present in the United States and whom you will probably know from China, to remit to you for my account US Dollars 7.--. As the Photoduplication Service of the Congress Library had copied some wrong pages by mistake, I have directly requested the Service to copy the right pages. I should be obliged if you would kindly also bear the costs for these photostats using the balance of the afore-mentioned amount.
When in future you are interested in buying books from Germany, I would recommend to you to let me know the title of the book so that I may order them at Harrassowitz and pay for same.
As to German literature concerning Communist China, I should like to draw your attention to the following facts:
There are practically no books published in Western Germany on the new China.
Books on China printed in Eastern Germany are mostly translation from Russian and English versions and I suppose you are not interested in such publications.
As I had previously informed you the local booksellers cannot obtain books from the Russian zone for different reasons.
In the meantime, I requested my relatives residing in the Eastern Zone to send me some books on China and I am pleased to inform that I have just received the first book which contains the memoirs of an Austrian surgeon about his experiences in China since 1939/40. He is a close follower of Communism. I am sending you the book by order mail as a printed matter and trust it will reach you safely.
With many thanks and kind regards,
Yours faithfully,
Fritz Jäger

September 10, 1952
Dear Dr. Yuan:
Thank you for returning my copy of the 1893 T'ung-wen Kuan Calendar. I trust that you were able to find some useful material therein.
In going through the material, I have collected on the Kuang-fang yen-kuan, I have discovered that Lou Tseng-Tsiang was one of four graduates of the French Department of that school who were recommended in 1890 to be sent to Peking for examination by the Tsungli Yamen to enter the T'ung-wen Kuan. His name is the only one of the four which appears nowhere in the 1893 T'ung-wen Kuan Calendar. I have no explanation of this and wonder if you have one. Of course, he may have gone to Peking, been examined, and assigned somewhere else without entering the T'ung-wen Kuan at all; I know of other cases of this kind. Yet in Mr. Lou's biography in Who's Who in China he states that he was one time a student in the T'ung-wen Kuan. I would appreciate any light that you can throw on this matter as it might help to explain some similar cases-for example, one in which four graduates of the Mathematics Department were sent to Peking and none of their names appears in the 1893 Calendar.
An earlier letter of yours raises another question about the Kuang-fan yen-kuan. You mentioned a French professor in the school whom I presume was a friend of Mr. Lou. According to the Kuang-fan yen-kuan materials that I have, French was being taught there in 1881 by a Chinese, although the document which mentions this fact also states that he was not entirely satisfactory and that the Chinese Minister to France had been asked to look for a competent French teacher. I know from another document that French was being taught in 1894 by a Chinese. It is quite possible that the Frenchman you inquired about taught in school some time in the interim and I would appreciate your sending me any evidence that you may have of that fact. As you can see, the material that I am having to depend upon for the description of this Shanghai school is very spotty indeed. As you no doubt have discovered, the Kiangnan Arsenal记hardly mentions the school.
Sincerely yours,
Knight Biggerstaff, Chairman

My dear Director Yuan,
I was so glad to have your news the other day. The letter reached me in an envelope stamped‘Oxford’and so I do not know whether the California address means that you have left the Congress Library and are doing something else. Please let me know because I need hardly say that I am very much interested in your personal well-being, and that of your family.
I have written to Miss Yates, who is the Secretary of the China Society（of which I am a member of Council）. I enclose the list of publications still available with prices. At the same time, she raised the question whether you wish to consider re-joining the Society. The annual contribution is still only 1 guinea and if you or your Institute were to join the Society you would receive future publication free of charge. I add the name and address of the Secretary in case you wish to correspond with her directly.-Miss Joan Yates, the China Society, 133 Fellows Road, London, N. W. 3.
I shall be sending an offprint of my latest article on‘erl’in a few days, as soon as I have received my offprints which should be the case in a day or two. I suppose you received the preceding part some time ago?
With all good wishes for you and your family,

December 30, 1952
Dear Dr. Fahs:
For the past three years I have been working on a comprehensive bibliography of China in Western languages. In undertaking this task, I have had financial assistance from the China Foundation.
Owing to its limited income and its commitments elsewhere, no further support from that Foundation would be forthcoming. Since it is a specific, short-term piece of bibliographical research, I wonder whether your Foundation would be interested in lending your support, so that the present work may be brought to early completion.
After having gone through the important collections in the East, I am making a survey of the major collections along the Pacific coast. I expect to spend a year here and the Mid-West before returning to Washington.
In view of the uncertainty of obtaining assistance in the future, I am hoping to turn all of my manuscripts to the Library of Congress after the completion of Part 1, Section 1. I am therefore particularly anxious to complete it on which I have already devoted much of my time. I am sure that with your support, it could be successfully concluded. May I therefore apply for a grant-in-aid from your Foundation for the academic year July 1953-June 1954?
For your further information, a brief statement regarding the project is herewith submitted. In view of the scholarly nature of the undertaking, I hope the application may receive due consideration from you and your colleagues.
Sincerely yours,
T. L. Yuan
