李书华致函先生,请协助查找国会图书馆藏北京大学教职员名录,并谈李大钊、陈独秀信奉共产主义的时间。
守和先生惠鉴:
弟为《传记文学》拟写一篇《七年北大》。弟系1922年八月到北大物理系任教,1929年暑假时离开北大。弟初入北大一二年时,全校共有教授约七八十人,现就记忆所及,还可想出教授姓名,约七十人左右。国会图书馆是否藏有那时北大教职员录?如有,敬请费神用xerox印一份寄下。用费若干务请示知,弟当如数归还。
弟初入北大时,北大图书馆主任(或称图书部主任)是李守常,大约一九二三?守常离开图书馆,主任一职由皮宗石(皓白)继任。皓白之后,由兄继任。兄到北海图书馆,北大图书主任便由马叔平继任。守常离开图书馆是否在一九二三年?彼为何离开图书馆?守常在北大每周教课一二小时,其所任之课,系何名称?是否属于政治系?盼示知。
弟以为守常开始倾向共产主义是在一九一九年,或在“五四”稍后,亦未可知。陈独秀倾向共产主义则在一九二〇年春,彼由北方至上海以后。中共两位老祖宗:“南陈北李”,北李倾向共产主义比南陈还要早半年到一年,兄意以为如何?亦希示知。
特此奉恳,顺请双安。
弟李书华敬启

Joseph F. Fletcher致函先生,愿为申请资助联系白思达,并告将赴远东和中亚地区,《新疆研究丛刊》可寄送其在马萨诸塞州的住所,另寄上购书支票。
Dear Mr. Yuan:
I hope you will forgive the long delay and the short note I am trying to pass off as a letter.
I shall certainly speak to Dr. Baxter and write a letter on your behalf if he advises me to do so in support of your request for a grant to help in the publication of your bibliographies.
At the moment I am in a great hurry trying to make all the necessary arrangements for my forthcoming trip to the Far East and Central Asia.
When the books come that you are going to send on to me, would you please use the following address:
6 Saint John's Road
Cambridge 38, Mass.
Anything sent to me care of that address will be held for my arrival.
I am sending a check for $24.00 to cover the seven forthcoming parts of the Sinkiang Collectanea(at $3.00 each)plus an extra copy of the Bibliography on Japanese works, which I hope you will forward to me at your convenience.
Best wishes for a good 1964. I look forward to seeing you in Washington in the fall of this year.
Sincerely yours,
Joseph F. Fletcher

14 East 71st Street
New York 21, N. Y.
Dear Madam:
I am grateful to you for your letter of December 8 enclosing your Information Requested sheet. Herewith I beg to submit my application for a grant-in-aid.
The clerical assistance of $750 which I requested would include the typing of the final manuscript for offset printing. If a research grant could be awarded, the bibliography should be published next fall.
As you will note, there is a considerable literature relating to Chinese archaeology and anthropology which has not received the attention from scientists it deserves. If a guide could be published, it would be a contribution to the Science of Man. In view of your Foundation's role in fostering scholarship, I hope I may count on your support.
Yours sincerely,
Tung-li Yuan

先生致信李书华,就所询各事略作解答,建议联系伯克利东亚图书馆的参考馆员以获取北京大学教职员名录信息。
润章先生著席:
奉到手教,当即到书库详细检查,此间仅有民六所印《北大二十周年纪念册》,内有教授名单,想哥大已入藏。又《守常文集》最近在北平出版,此间有一部,适为他人借出,无法检查,想哥大亦购到矣。守常何年离开图书馆,弟已不记忆,但决早于一九二三年。当时弟在巴黎(时刘半侬、许德珩、周梅荪均在巴黎),故不知其详也。至于守常开始倾向共产主义,大概在一九一九年,记得加拉罕两次宣言影响最大。弟前在西岸时见加州大学藏各校同学录职员录甚多,兄可直接写信询问有无1922-1929之北大职员录,函寄Reference Librarian, East Asian Library, University of California, Berkeley 4, Calif.,不久可得复函也。弟所编《留欧博士论文目录》,除意大利方面暂缓进行,其余大致完成。前承惠赐序文,即希于一二星期内赐下是荷。顺候著祺。

Dear Professor Hsu:
Thank you for your recent letter and for recommending the Sinkiang collectanea to your Library. So far three works have been sent to your Library, while three others are about to be published.
For the last two years I have been engaged in compiling a bibliography of Chinese archaeology and anthropology. The work in analyzing scientific journals has taken much longer time than I had anticipated. To try to secure some support, I hope you can serve as one of my references.
I enclose a statement which I hope to send to the Wenner-Gren Foundation for a research grant. If they ask for your comment, I hope I may count on your support.
Since you have a mimeographed list of your papers, could you be good enough to check against those titles which should be included in the bibliography? I shall greatly appreciate your help, so that no articles of importance will be overlooked.
With season's greetings to you and Mrs. Hsu,
Yours sincerely,

January 9, 1964
Dear Dr. Fletcher:
Thank you so much for your letter enclosing check for $24.00. Under separate cover, I have sent you No. 6 of the Sinkiang Collectanea concerning the boundaries of Sinkiang. This work based on Chinese official documents contains much material for research.
As I am so anxious to have my bibliography on Sinkiang published, I shall submit my application for a printing subsidy to the Harvard-Yenching Institute. I shall send you a copy for your reference. If you could write a letter to explain the importance of these bibliographies, it would be of material help. Most of my western friends have never heard of the name of Sinkiang and do not realize its strategic importance.
With best wishes for your scientific work and a most productive year,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

一、代付书款清单中,有W. Heffer & Sons 4.4.0 $11.76一项,收据未曾寄下,请费神查示所购书名,并嘱其补寄收据为托。其余各项书籍均已全部收到,数额亦均相符。尚有Park Book Shop邮费二元〇四分,单内未列,请补入。
二、现正申请外汇美金五百元,一俟办妥即汇请吾兄代为征购史料图书之用。查本馆去年续订之刊物为两年,故尚无到期者。
三、前由香港先后寄来吾兄赠送本馆与党史会《中俄西北条约集》及《新疆国界图志》各三册,均已收到。顷接此间商务印书馆来函,遵兄函嘱代送赠《新疆研究丛刊》《新疆建置志》《西陲要略》《西疆交涉志要》各三部,均照收到,除转送党史会一份外,先此一并致谢。吾兄在国外为祖国注重疆域之精诚,尤为钦仰。
四、开国文献会前承吾兄在美购置之国务院档案胶片M329中国内政档案二二七卷;M339中美关系档案二卷;M341中国与其他国家档案三四卷,因无Checklist可查,选用史料颇感不便,请费神就近代为查询。如有Checklist可购,请即代购各一册寄下,以资应用为感。
五、前承代购日本军部档案胶片,其中R111重复,而缺R110,又外务省档案胶片WT51重复,而缺WT82,请劳神代向原摄制单位洽询,是否可予更换。如万一不行,则请代为照价补制R110、WT82号各一卷为托。
六、去年夏间由伦敦寄来Collier: Manchoukuo等书三种,价目系壹磅十七先令,书及单据均已收到。
七、附奉吾兄一九六三年九至十二月份征集费台湾银行缴款书,请查收。又本年一至六月份空白收据六张,请加章寄下。
八、正复函间,接读一月十五日手教,暨购书发票,敬已奉悉。War Against Japan一书,代购两部,不必汇回,其中一部可由党史会购,请代付款并将书价出在该会购书款内可也。

正拟作书报告代售《史事日志》经过,适奉二十八日手教,藉悉所中研究进展近况,至以为慰。印刷问题最感头痛,《金轺随笔》等书于一年前改交商务,据云去秋台北飓风时被毁,弟亦不敢相信,大约商人谋利,先印教科书以致。弟委托之件迟迟不办,亦无可奈何也出版后即奉赠。弟处尚有《新疆目录》中文之部,约数千条,不知应交何处印刷(排印),能否不予资助且能赠送若干部,亦盼便中指示。尊著寄到后,正拟分寄各图书馆推销,不意有一美人(姓名俟查出再函告)费正清的学生曾到过台北,发出代售台北书籍之广告,将尊著书价列为美金$5.50,下注系台湾商务交其代售者请向商务一询究竟。弟不得已只得改寄德国二部、意大利一部,其余一部则售于国会图书馆。兹将该馆寄来书款美金十一元支票,签字后随函奉上,即希察收。至于德、意之三部发票,仍请便中寄下,以便转寄。至于书款,当告其直接交邮寄上,附上格式一纸,以备参考前寄来之排印广告不能作正式发票用,即希打就寄下是荷。顺候时祉。

吴泽湘(西雅图)致函先生,告正在根据亲身经历撰写一部关于1942年至1944年中苏关系的书稿,并请先生随时告知《新疆研究丛刊》的进展。
February 7, 1964
Dear Dr. Yuan:
It has been quite a long time since I saw you for the last time. I have been to Taiwan for a little over three years after my resignation from “the ambassadorship to Chile” in 1951. At the call of my late wife, I returned here in 1956. She died in 1958.
Since then, I have been working on a book entitled, The Sino-Soviet Riddle in Sinkiang-An Episode of Foreign Relations, 1942-1944. The project was sponsored by the Far Eastern Department of the University of Washington. The manuscript has been completed in 1960, and I have been revising it from time to time.
I just learned from新疆书目(日文之部),which I bought from the East and West Book Shop, that you had published other titles in both Chinese and English. I shall appreciate it very much if you will kindly mail a copy each of such publications with the exception of the above edition I have in possession. Do bill me so that a check may be sent you in due course.
As you would probably recall, I was in Sinkiang for three years shortly before Sheng Shih-tsai was transferred to Chungking in 1944. My manuscript will contain all negotiations with the Soviet authorities there. In a way, it is a kind of my memoir. When it is published, I shall be happy to send you a copy autographed.
I have been living in retirement for nearly three years with occasional trips to the University library here. Please keep me informed of any other project in mind relative to Sinkiang. It is a territory I am vitally interested. Right here, I am keeping all available information on file on the progress of this Region since 1949.
With my best regards.
Yours sincerely,
Chaucer H. Wu

Dear Professor Prusek:
Under separate cover, I am sending you several new publications, mostly reprints of older books now difficult to obtain. Please do not bother sending Czek books in return.
But I would greatly appreciate your help if you could ask your colleague to send me a list of books and articles on Chinese art which have been published in Czechoslovakia. I hear that a new museum of Far Eastern art has been established not far from Prague and Dr. Lubor Hajek is the leading figure in this field. No doubt important studies have appeared in recent years.
I have Dr. Hajek's Chinese Art in Czechoslovakian Museums, both the English and German translations. I should like to know the titles of his other publications on Chinese art. At present I am engaged in preparing for publication a bibliography of Chinese art and archaeology, and I am rather anxious to include the contributions from your scholars. As I do not read your language, any help from you will be much appreciated.
With cordial regards,
Yours sincerely,

先生致信马克尔,再次向英国大学中国委员会申请资助编纂《中国艺术和考古目录》。
11 February, 1964
Dear Mr. Morkill:
For several years I have been engaged in compiling a comprehensive bibliography on Chinese art. As far as American collections are concerned, the coverage is rather complete. In view of the significant contributions by British scholars in the field of Chinese art, I should like very much to continue the research in British libraries and museums so that no works of importance will be overlooked. For this reason, may I apply for a research grant(from 350.0.0 to 400.0.0)from the Universities'China Committee? Herewith I beg to submit a brief statement.
As far as I know, no one has spent so much time in the work of analyzing learned journals. To examine the contents of the Journal Asiatique and the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, for instance, is a laborious undertaking. I am glad to say that I have analyzed a multitude of such journals-a work, though exacting, has given me much satisfaction.
Though a labor of love, I should like to have some gesture of encouragement. Since the grants of your Committee are usually awarded in May each year, may I hope to hear from you sometime before June?
With sincere greetings,
Yours sincerely,
Tung-li Yuan
P. S. I sent to you recently a copy of Communist China's Strategy in the Nuclear Era and the Chinese People's Republic and the Bomb which, I hope, may be of some interest to you.

先生致信Wolfgang Seuberlich,推荐购入《近代中国史事日志》,并请协助查实留德博士中文姓名。
February 16, 1964
Dear Dr. Seuberlich:
Some weeks ago, I mailed you a copy of T. Y. Kuo's Chin Tai Chung Kuo shih shih jih chi a chronology of Modern China. It was sent to you on approval, costing 11 dollars. If you decide to keep it for your Library, I shall ask Mr. Kuo to send you the invoice, and you may pay him direct. As you will note, it is a most useful tool of research.
I now enclose a list of Chinese students who have been awarded the doctorate by German universities. Since your Library has a complete file of doctoral dissertations, I wonder if you would take the trouble of putting down their Chinese names. If not, could you advise me to whom I should write for their Chinese names? Perhaps instructors of Chinese language and literature at German universities may know some of the names. Would it be possible for you to send me a list of names of these instructors and their addresses(namely, their university affiliation)? With such a list I could write them individually.
I am compiling a Guide to Doctoral Dissertations by Chinese students in Europe. The great difficulty is the identification of their Chinese names. If you have any directory of Chinese students in Germany, could you lend it to me for a few days?
Thanking you for your help,
Yours sincerely,

A. Hu, 500 W. 122 St. New York, 10027。又弟检得台湾《留德同学录》一份,内中亦有许多博士,是否靠得住则不可知。内载大维兄为柏林大学博士,贾则彼为哈佛之PH. D.也。兹将原单及《留德同学录》一份送上,后者于用后仍乞掷还为祷。专此,即颂日祉。

Rome, 21, Apr., 1964
Dear Dr. Yuan:
I have the pleasure of acknowledging receipt of your kind letter of April 6, with enclosed Invoice, to the amount of USA $11.00, for the purchase of the Chronology of Modern China, on the part of our Institute. Our Administrative Office is therefore directed to settle the Invoice without delay, and I thank you for your courtesy.
It is likewise very kind of you to send me soon your cards on the Bibliography of Chinese Literature on Marco Pole: I am sorry to say that, concerning my own work, it has made little progress, owing to the pressure of circumstances.
Your plan of compiling a list of dissertations submitted by Chinese students in Italy would be of much interest, but I regret to say that it would be far from easy to carry it out. Wishing to be of help to you as far as possible, I have without delay applied to our “Ministry of Education”, on which all Italian Universities are dependent, in order to get precise information or advice on the matter. Dissertations or Thesis towards University Degrees, are made public after a lapse of 50 years. For your purpose, it ensures that it would be necessary, on the authorization granted by “the Ministry of Education”, to address the individual Faculties of all Italian Universities. There is no need to say that this would entail a heavy and very lengthy work, that might be carried out by mail, and not on the spot. In Rome, only the Faculties of the Roman Universities could be approached to this end. I really do not know of anyone who may help you in a work of this kind. I am sorry at my inability of being more helpful in this connection, but as you see the problem is hard to solve. This reminds me to tell you that all such Institutions are closed by the month of June. I would be very happy, in any case, to make your personal acquaintance, should you decide to visit Europe, at one time or another. With best regards, and my renewed thanks,
Yours truly,
Lionello Lanciotti

Dear Dr. Yuan:
Thank you so much for your note of April 26, including the reprint of your Bibliography of the Writings of Dr. Hu Shih and the announcement of the Sinkiang Collectanea. I am very pleased to have the Bibliography and I had noted something about the Sinkiang Collectanea. We will order it before long but will probably have to wait until the first of July when our new fiscal year begins. I note that at present seven volumes have been published. Do you have any idea how many volumes this will ultimately run to?
We are trying to build up our Oriental Studies Library here, and, at the moment, we are searching for somebody who can serve as cataloguer-librarian and general manager of the collection which now amounts to about 15,000 Chinese ts'e and some 3,000 bound Japanese volumes. We are trying to find someone who can handle the cataloguing and ordering of both Chinese and Japanese books, and in addition to this ability to be able to use both languages, he needs to be a permanent resident of the United States-to accommodate certain local hiring policies. This combination of requirements has made it fairly difficult for us, but we may possibly get the permanent residence requirement adjusted. Building up the collection was started about three and one-half years ago, and although we do not have as much money to spend now as we had in the last three years, I hope we can keep the collection growing.
Best wishes to you.
Sincerely yours,
Earl H. Pritchard

May 4, 1964
Dear Dr. Yuan:
From now on the Harvard-Yenching Institute is not going to make a practice of subsidizing publications in the United States under other auspices. However, we shall be willing to issue your bibliography completely at our expense in the Harvard-Yenching Institute Studies Series-with the understanding that all net profits accrue to the Institute-if it is accepted by the publisher of this series, the Harvard University Press, and if the H. U. P.'s estimate of editorial and printing expense is not too great. This series would be a particularly appropriate imprint for your bibliography since, like the compilation itself, it is financed from funds that originally came to us from the Rockefeller Foundation.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Mr. Thomas J. Wilson, Director of the Harvard University Press, at 79 Garden Street, Cambridge 02138. If the proposition suits you, please write directly to Mr. Wilson about how to submit the work to the Press. I don't know whether it is feasible for Mr. Wilson to receive and circulate the manuscript in card form.
In evaluating the importance and usefulness of this bibliography, we have been aided by a letter from Mr. Joseph F. Fletcher, a Junior Fellow of Harvard University who, as you know, is already accorded considerable respect in the field of Central Asian studies and who is one of the scholars whose work would be aided by this publication.
Sincerely yours,
Glen W. Baxter

7 May 1964
Dear Sir:
In 1956 we published a bibliography on Economic and Social Development of Modern China which you compiled in connection with a major area studies contract we handled for the government.
Since then, this work went out of print. Since we feel that the bibliographies are one of the most valuable series of publications we are currently publishing, we hesitate to let your work remain out of print. On the other hand, however, we feel that we should not just reprint a ten-year old bibliography without any up-dating. We would like to publish a new, considerably better looking version of your work if we could have you up-date it. This could be done either by a supplement to each one of the two sections of the present work, or by integrating the new entries into the original text. This would not present us with any additional cost since in the case of a new edition the entire book would have to be retyped in a clear and better looking type.
In short, then, we would like to invite you to work with us in this sense. If you are interested, we should like to know when you would have the time to undertake this work and by what date we could expect to receive the additional material from you in a manuscript form or on index cards.
We sincerely hope that together we'll be able to make this valuable work available once more to scholars and the public.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Michael Lazna

Dear Mr. Lazna:
Thank you for your letter of 7th of May in regard to the possible continuation of my bibliography on Economic and Social Development of Modern China. I hardly realize that the 1956 edition is already out of print.
In view of the large amount of new material published in China, it would be rendering a real service to scholars, if an entirely new edition could be published. Although it is time-consuming(about five months'editorial work),I shall be glad to assist you in bringing out a work of reference to all scholars.
Taking advantage of my forthcoming trip to Europe, I shall be glad to collect additional new material in this field which is not yet available in American institutions. After my return in the fall, I shall start the work and I hope the final manuscript could be submitted next spring. Meanwhile I trust that it would be possible for you to arrange a small research grant to assist in the completion of the project.
Yours sincerely,

14 May, 1964
Dear Sir:
We were indeed very pleased with your reaction to my last letter to you. We certainly agree that there is a great need for such a comprehensive bibliography and we feel that we should be able to assist you financially in your work. In order to do this, however, we need from you a letter in the form of a proposal addressed to our organization which we could then work into our own proposal seeking financial assistance for this work.
I would think that such a proposal should include perhaps your own evaluation of the existing bibliographical works in this area demonstrating to us the need for a major up-dated bibliographic compilation. Further, you might elaborate on your plan of research and show how much you would need to bring a thorough work to a successful completion.
In your letter you mention “a small research grant.” We need a more specific figure in order to decide for ourselves whether in case that we should be unable to secure outside subsidy we could possibly carry the full cost ourselves.
Hoping to hear from you soon.

30 May, 1964
Dear Mr. Lazna:
Thank you so much for your letter of 14 May. I regret very much that my absence from Washington has prevented me from writing you earlier.
At your suggestion, I enclose a brief statement about the work in which you are interested. I also cut down the expenses as low as possible.
Owing to my previous commitments, I shall not be able to start the work until next January. This will give you sufficient time to work out your budgets.
Apologizing for the delay in writing to you,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

先生致信Earl H. Pritchard,推荐刘麟生协助亚利桑那大学筹建东亚馆藏。
June 1, 1964
Dear Professor Pritchard:
Since receiving your letter of May 1, I have given some thought concerning a suitable person to assist you in building up your Oriental Studies Library.
In view of what you have already accomplished, you would certainly need a man of broad and liberal education than a technical cataloger. In addition to the work of cataloging, such a person should round up your collection by the selection and purchase of essential source materials and by keeping in touch with the sales of large collections as well as with the current output of Chinese and Japanese literature.
Dr. Tsien who I recommended to Dr. Creel is a good example. The high quality of the Chicago collection is much more useful to a scholar than the Library of Congress where a lot of junk are daily adding to the collection as a result of blanket orders and departmental transfers.
For the position in your University, I have in mind of Mr. Lin-sheng Liu who is not only an outstanding scholar, but having lived in Japan for nine years, has a good knowledge of Japanese literature. He is a permanent resident in the United States and is in the process of being naturalized.
Born in 1895, Mr. Liu looks like a man of fifty. He has the capacity for work; and as long as he is in the company of books, he never feels tired. So please do not mind about his age.
With all good wishes,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

PRAGUE, June 6, 1964.
Dear Dr. YUAN,
Many thanks for your extremely interesting three volumes on the history of the relations between China and Russia.
Considering the importance of the subject, I am sure that your book will become an efficient auxiliary required by all students of this problem.
There is still an open money item which I intended to pay into the hands of your brother, but as there is, for the time being, no hope that I should be able to do so, I think it will be better to remit you the amount in question direct to Washington. Please, let me know your opinion in this respect.
In the meantime, I wish you a good health and further success in your work and remain, Dear Mr. YUAN,
Very sincerely yours

I am indeed grateful to you for your kind letter of 21 April and for your kindness in writing for authorization to your Ministry of Education. I trust that you may have a reply by this time.
Since most universities are closed by the end of June, I do not think I can get much information from my forthcoming trip. I expect to be in Rome June 22-24 and I shall try my luck. If you happen to know any of the curators of the following institutions, perhaps you may like to ascertain whether permission could be given to me to look over the catalogue cards.
I am bringing over additional cards on Marco Polo, and I hope you could find the necessary time to bring it to early completion.
Looking forward with much pleasure to seeing you soon,
Yours sincerely,

Dear Professor Goodrich:
Thank you so much for your card. The award from the ACLS came as a surprise, as it had been turned down twice before. I know for certain that without your and other scholars'recommendation, I could hardly be considered in view of the keen competition among the participants.
This work involving the analyzing of all sinological and art journals is a time-consuming task. I hope to have it completed after two more years.
I have much enjoyed the work, and with your encouragement, I shall bring the work to early completion.
With all good wishes for a pleasant summer.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Professor Prusek:
I deeply appreciate your kind letter of June 6. Since writing to you last, three more volumes in the “Sinkiang Collectanea” have been published. I am now waiting for the appearance of the last volume. I shall send these volumes to your Academy with much pleasure.
Concerning the remittance of the money, you may send it to the Barclays Bank, Marylebone Branch, 5a Marylebone High Street, London, W. l, England, if it is more convenient for you to do so. You may send with a letter to that Bank, asking it to credit the amount to my current account. The other way is to send it to me here in Washington.
I have recently read your article published in the Arts and Sciences of China(London)which is very instructive.
Under the leadership of Dr. Lubor Hajek, there is a considerable literature in Czek on the art and archaeology of China. If convenient, could you ask your librarian to send me a selective list of such literature? Please convey my hearty thanks for his help.
With all good wishes,
Your sincerely,

18 June 1964
Dear Mr. Yuan:
Thank you for your letter and statement of proposed work. Let me once more express our appreciation with your readiness to update your work.
We find your fee and associated expenses quite reasonable and the problem at the moment is not our willingness to pay it but where to go for it. We would like to cover our expenses partly from outside subsidy, preferably to cover your cost by subsidy and the cost of manufacturing by our own funds. In that situation we should be able to make the revised edition available at a reasonably low price. It may take us some time before we know when and how much we can get; however, you yourself have your own commitments which will take up the rest of this year. We should be able to know what we can do long before the time and will communicate to you any relative development as soon as we can.
Wishing you an agreeable summer.
Yours,
Mike Lazna

樊际昌覆函先生,告其夫人、蒋梦麟病逝经过,并谈已恢复教书事业。
守和先生道席:
五六两月间连奉三函敬悉,容一一奉答如后。
内子自一九六二年夏患轻微中风,右半身麻痹后,迄在家休养治疗。因体气已弱,复元不易,但精神始终正常。不意于今年一月廿八日上午再度中风,大脑溢血,数秒钟而昏迷不省。经送台大医院治疗,终因来势猛烈,医者束手,于当日晚间逝世,享年六十八岁。现已安葬于阳明山公墓,与孟邻夫人及许多老友为“邻”。该公墓为周象贤兄任局长时所创办。孟邻夫人逝世时(一九五八年五月)尚未筹备就绪,经弟与象贤兄交涉后,先为夫人建墓,此为该公墓之“第一号”,而今已“人满”矣,且大多数为我辈友好!
去年以前,孟邻先生常说,他要活到九十岁。照他的体况,我想八十五岁是无问题的。但自一九六一年夏结婚后,情况就大不同了。在婚后一年半的生活中,他“外表”快乐,而内心却充满了矛盾和痛苦。我想肝癌早已种了一病根。一九六二年冬在台中跌伤碎臀骨。入医院治疗,又患很严重的褥疮。正在与病魔作斗争中,他又下决心要办离婚,他委托弟办理其事。弟明知其难,但又不忍违拂其意。经整整一年的神经战,居然调解成功(今年一月二十日)。金钱损失(新台币七十万元)犹是小事,而经此resolution后,他的精神空虚,肝癌乘机发作。初则感觉疲乏,至四月间而显现于□光中矣。一生英明,暮年如此遭遇,真堪痛惜。弟日前嘱此间华美协进社台湾分社(弟与勉仲兄分担其事)寄奉《传记文学》(第五卷第一期)数册,内载有此间友好悼文数篇,亮已收到。读兄挽词,为之黯然神往!孟公现已安葬,与夫人同穴。弟今年二月底照章退休。孟邻先生当时虽欲坚留,而弟为个人归宿计,雅不愿再在行将结束之美援机构中,作无谓牺牲,亟思追寻个人兴趣,恢复教书生涯。上半年在台大心理系授课三小时,下学年起在政治大学教育系专任心理课程,在台大兼任。半年以来对心理科学(行为科学)之新发展,作一有系统之温习,真感惊异。幸弟在以往十余年中,尚未完全荒废,否则将不识庐山真面目矣。
兄所需要之农复会书目,方于日内办好。因经办人被去职,新人接管不甚熟手,所以迟延,尚乞鉴宥为幸。短短三年期中,胡、梅、蒋及内子相继以去(孟公可以说是弟的惟一boss,除第一年蔡先生名义的聘书外,但他从未boss过我),弟精神上之打击,殊不易受。现正勉力发愤图存,希望对后继者,犹可稍有贡献,至盼知我者有以教我也。耑此,敬颂道祺。

Thank you for the information about Dr. T. H. Tsien and Dr. Hsia; it does appear that neither of them would be free to consider the position in Hong Kong. Mr. Chen Wen-chao is probably committed for some time into the future at Kalamazoo also.
Thank you very much for the suggestion of Mr. Chia-pi Hsu. The record of his background and professional experience is very substantial, and I am glad to have your comment about his necessary tact and resourcefulness as well as his competence in planning and building up collections of Chinese and Western books.
I know that Dr. Yung and Dr. Li will be most pleased to have this recommendation and I will forward it to them without delay. If they would like me to arrange an interview with Mr. Hsu, it can easily be arranged.
With sincere appreciation and best wishes, I am
Very cordially yours,

溽暑中大驾赴欧,雅兴何如?前次弟在尊寓晤金问泗先生,彼曾谈及九一八事件发生时期的外交情况。后由兄来函代询当时拉西曼对我国中枢决策的影响。现已将原案查明,我方自有基本认识,与拉无关,亦非彼所能主张。其详见弟致金先生长函中(此函请兄转致为感),此亦可见弟所守治史之笨方法也。此颂俪祺。

罗家伦致函先生,请在美购买日本外务省档案有关抗战史料的胶卷并谈购书等事。
守和吾兄道鉴:
前接六月十日手教暨帐单等,均敬奉悉。吾兄欧洲之行,谅已返美矣。
(一)本馆最近请到外汇美金贰仟元,为在国外购置史料胶片及图书之用。兹特挂号寄奉台湾银行本年八月十九日No. 103/64-12020美金贰仟元汇票壹张,请查收领取并代为保存支付为托。(汇票背书注明,凭吾兄护照或其他证明文件支取,以昭慎重。)
(二)前岁八月廿三日大札,告以日本外务省档案在移交贵馆前,曾由国务院自照七十二卷计5875尺,经兄惠寄一九六二年六月十三日估价单一纸,共需美金四九〇元。当时本馆外汇不敷,故未能决定购否。今外汇稍裕,如该七十二卷之内容不在国会图书馆后来所摄2116卷之中,但在有关中日问题之列,则烦神代购一全套。若两者有重复摄印之处,是否应先将本馆已购之三三七卷及现拟续行选购之一、二百卷等卷号一并开列清单寄上,藉供查核,亦请示知。如设重复之处不多,本馆仍可考虑购置。因本馆所急需者为有关抗战之文献,而又想从精简中求节约也。如何之处,尚祈惠示卓见,为荷。
(三)本馆订购Facts on File《一九六三年年鉴》Yearbook, 1963。原出版处于本年三月间寄出,已经收到,价款美金三十元七角前请代付,现又来信催款,如尚未付,请费神代付为感。
(四)新德里牛津书店寄来书籍十五种,其中在吾兄开出之书单内,仅有五种。又收到Park Book Shop寄来Stuart & Levy: Kind-Hearted Tiger一册,均烦代付书款。
(五)Document of British Foreign Policy此书有关我国抗战史实,甚为重要,本馆仅收到一册,请吾兄函嘱Heffer书店设法补全寄来,为托。
(六)附奉吾兄七、八、九月征集费新台币壹仟五百元台湾银行送款单存根两张,请察收。
专此奉托,顺颂道祺!

洪余庆日覆函先生,感谢寄下序文、弁言,并告已托人打听其父洪有丰的忌日。
守和老伯赐鉴:
前接八月廿五日训示及附掷下老伯之序文与先父弁言,并承为注明出处,感戴万分。经已交厂印刷之矣。惟以绩溪同乡会请人为写之传尚未脱稿,致出版恐尚须稍缓也。侄意希望最迟十一月能赶上先父诞辰出版,但不知有困难否?时刻以此为念也。
去年为侄转来噩耗之同乡胡建人老伯于上月从日本经此返香港,承告知已□去函再询其忌辰,希能补于传中,但至今尚未接覆示也。
敬悉老伯略感不适,不卜已出院否?极念。专此,敬请崇安。

先生致信郭廷以,告知因病未能如期覆信,并商黎烈文译稿费用问题。
量予先生著席:
前奉手教,嘱写一引言,再与黎烈文译稿一并奉上,适弟卧病数月,未能如愿。兹特交航邮寄上,即希教正。至于书名是否应为《中俄伊犁交涉俄方之资料》,或改用其他名称,统候尊裁。黎教授译费系梁实秋兄代为接洽者,如贵所能在补助费内予以拨付,作为贵所专刊之一,尤为企盼,否则仍由弟担付,亦无不可。此书需吾兄作序,在序内自应函谢黎教授也。原书内有地图一张,俄人照片二张。弟另在他处觅到曾氏照片,均可印入书内也。专此,顺候时祉。
弟袁同礼顿首

按:《中俄伊犁交涉俄方之资料》即《伊犁交涉的俄方文件》,《“中央研究院”近代史研究所史料丛刊》第2种,1966年11月初版,郭廷以序、先生导言均未提及黎烈文。1963年7月10日、8月29日,黎烈文撰写一份注意事项、两份译稿谢金收据,证明译费由先生支付,由梁实秋转交支票,共计新台币玖仟元。

先生致信李书华,慰问病情并谈自己病后仍未能康复。
润章先生道席:
昨奉赐书,始悉贵体违和,并将摄护腺割去,经过良好,闻之甚慰。惟年高之人恢复较慢,尚希安心静养是祷。弟患pancreas,入院割治后住院两月,迄今未能复原,终日度日如年,亦无他法可想。吾人在此幸有良医,又有健康保险,否则更不堪设想矣。前拜读大著《传记文学》,甚佩甚佩。顺候痊安。
嫂夫人同此。

十月十五日
〔Columbia University Libraries Archival Collections, Shuhua Li Papers, 1926-1972, Volume II: Modern Eminent Chinese Leaders〕
按:“摄护腺”即前列腺,pancreas则是胰腺。“大著”应指《吴稚晖先生从维新派成为革命党的经过》或《吴稚晖先生与廉南湖》,前者分上下两期刊于《传记文学》3、4月,后者则登载于9月号,笔者认为应是前者。
十月二十一日
张馨保致函先生,寄赠《林则徐与鸦片战争》(上册)并谈其研究计划。
守和老伯尊鉴:
前闻尊驾稍有不适,未知完全康复否?至念。拙作林则徐与鸦片战争久经延宕,现已出版,乃即速奉上一册,藉便请益。如发现错讹或不当之处,盼不吝指正,俾使再版时更正。四月间手札早已奉悉,只以行踪不定、心神难安,虽日夕时在念中,只未能握管,实是教读之余又须校对稿件,劳碌不已,他日当至华府当面请罪问安。哈佛圕已聘定吴君文津,忝承额外推荐,感愧交加,事虽未成,而盛意终身难忘,详情自当永远守秘,以免外界传闻不便也。鄙同窗法大为(David M. Farquhar)君原在Maryland,旋转至UCLA执教,新疆丛刊定单已转寄法君矣。又此间同人Eletcha君专攻中亚问题,盼将订单赐寄一份,藉便宣扬也。本学年馨保在Iowa告假一年,现在哈佛搜集(反面)史料,明春拟赴英伦一行,冀将鸦片战争下册写完,了此一桩心愿。冬至以前必前往请安。诸俟面陈。敬颂阖府安吉。

量予先生道席:
昨奉十、廿二日赐书,藉悉黎烈文先生译稿业已照收,并将由贵所设法印行,至为欣感。弟前以此批资料国人尚未及见,故请黎君译成中文。其译费似觉一班稍高,今贵所既决定印行,如能担任译费亦尚合理。惟念编者既非所内研究员,行政上或有困难,似此情形望将引言署名处予以删去,改为所中主编,于付译费时公私较便,可否再赐考虑。承代购书三种,书价新台币壹百玖拾贰元,兹如数奉上支票,即希察收。琐事渎神,厚意甚感。顺候著祺。

With all good wishes to you & Mrs. Yuan for a merry xmas & a happy & healthy new year, in which my wife joins me, I am,
As very, yours sincerely,
