李芳馥覆函先生，谈平馆上海办事处、个人前途等事。
守公尊鉴：
十二月四日手示转到，祗悉一是。公远在海外犹时时以馆事为念，想一生心血所在，无时不欲发扬而光大之。但现时国内一切维新，出版工作亦不能例外，所编一九四九年英文《季刊》一部分稿件皆成废纸，一九四八年英文《季刊》在上海解放前印好未能邮寄，解放后由军管会全部封存。虽公及子明兄处又海外预约各家皆无法照寄，来函亦未能复，将来究应如何办理，想总馆必有以善其后。此后，无论编印何种刊物皆须适合国策，现时中央人民政府下设教育部、文化部，图书馆属文化部文物局，将来想必计划出版新书刊目录等类刊物，目前尚非其时。闻政府深盼我公归国继续主持国立北京图书馆，公若归不独为本馆贺，亦为中国全国图书馆事业贺也。办事处存书业已北运一节系传闻之误，但现正在清理装箱北运中，限本月内办理完毕。办事处正式撤销，宝庆路房屋及傢具等大约由森老主持之古物管理委员会接收。关于办事处被接管经过，前曾上一函报告一切，接管后经费由上海市高等教育处担负，馆务尚能部分进行。去岁七八月间，王有三兄曾来函促王育伊兄及馨北上工作，因此间事前曾接北方来信，有守公归来定有刘老老进大观园之感之语（王子访、王念伦已被斗争出馆）。故提出若干具体问题，如职位、薪津、住房、馆中新组织等，复函请答，但无一字回音，约一月后又来信再嘱北上，同人再申前请亦未得复。去年十月间，郑西谛（现任文物局局长）决定偕赵斐云同中央其他人员来华东接收中央所属各机关，同时撤销办事处。此一关系同人切身问题事件，馆方竟无一字通知，郑、赵二位于上月到沪，郑君热忱说服同人北上，盛意可感。颂声兄一切简单，去京可无问题；育伊兄因家事，坚不欲北上；馨则因北京房荒严重，住屋无着，全家路费、添装冬衣及重新组织家庭须巨额现款，无力担负，现时北上实不可能。但若馆中不准给假，失业后在现状下再就业，万分不易，然此亦无可奈何之事。处大时代，个人原不足轻重也。据郑西谛云，国际出版品交换处将由北京图书馆接收，移京继续办理，若果成事实，则将来定感上海有特设一办事处之必要。他日再起炉灶，重觅房屋，必大不易。馆方此举来日当悔，我公若在国内，一切当另成一局面也。中央大学已改名为南京大学，中央图书馆名称尚未更改，将来是否仍为国立或改属地方，亦未决定。蒋慰堂现在香港，来函叫苦，托人疏通，俾能返国。据人云，纵能归来，欲复员中央图书馆，不可能也。肃此，敬请双安。
弟妹统此问好。

L. C.所欠三百十一元，最好仍由美领馆转拨，否则请子明兄领了，存在Riggs银行生名下，但汇来北京更好。因生正在买一处房子，尚欠四五百元，愈快愈好，请代催。专此，即请钧安！

先生撰写一份备忘录，向中基会申请拨付平馆购买英美期刊购书款。
Memo Re Grant to the National Library of Peiping
At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of the China Foundation held in the fall of 1949, a grant of $5,000 was made to the National Library of Peiping.
It appeared that only the first installment of $1,250 had been made in the spring of 1949. According to Mr. C. M. Wang, the Acting Director, our subscriptions to American and British periodicals for 1949 have not yet been paid. Nor has he placed periodical subscriptions for 1950. A number of complaints have been received from the publishers.
It is hoped that the China Foundation will arrange to pay the other three installments of the grant of $5,000 made in 1949, so that a minimum number of periodical subscriptions can be continued by the Library without causing any serious break of its valuable file of scientific journals.
Respectfully submitted,

Joseph F. Ford覆函先生，感谢帮助校阅凤凌日记译稿，并约晚饭。
8th February 1950
Dear Dr Yuan,
Thank you very much for your letter clearing up many points about my translation which had been obscure to me. You must wonder why I have not replied earlier. As a matter of fact, my office work has been rather heavy in the last month, but I have now taken up the translation again and am making progress little by little. In quite a short time I hope to be able to put the whole work in your hands. I do appreciate very much indeed your kind offer to read it through for me, as I am conscious that apart from the names which I have not identified there are also weaknesses in many passages of the translation. It is sometimes hard to grasp the meaning of the Chinese text.
If you have had any difficulty about consulting the English periodicals at the B. I. S. reading room, please let me know. I understand that the library has been transferred to the Embassy Annexe at 3100 Massachusetts Ave.
If you need an introduction there, I shall be glad to arrange to take you in at almost any time. It would be quite convenient for me since the Annexe is only a stone's throw from my office.
I have just read an article by Dr. Needham on scientific exchanges between Asia and the West and he has much to say in it about China. In case you have not read it I am sending you separately a copy of the number of “Asian Horizon” which contains the article.
If you should be free on Friday evening, 10th February, I shall appreciate it very much if you would have supper with me, possibly at the Peking restaurant, or any other place which would be more convenient to you. This would give me an opportunity to ask you about some difficult points in connection with Fung Ling's diary.
Yours sincerely
J. F. Ford

守和兄：
一月五日信悉。
孟邻与咏霓都没有能赶到，故昨日（八日）的会已延至三月七日，但不知那时能足法定人数否（孟邻电告JCRR的公务使他须留到二月十五日左右）。
现叶良才兄已来纽约。尊函已与他看了。他说，平馆去年第二期之$1,250已拨付平馆留京沪办事处同人，似是为“应变”之用？我检中基会Executive Committee六月三日会议录，果有纪录，云平馆连修理费共$5,400，已支付$2,900，尚保留$2,500。
尊函所提补助事，此时无人有权讨论，想能蒙原谅。我当留意此事，但现有机构只能administer the investment of the Endowment Fund，而无动用款项之权也。
匆匆，敬祝大安。

I have had two letters from Mr. C. M. Wang asking me to cable him as soon as the balance of $2,500 from the Foundation is credited to the account of the Library in the Chase National Bank.
I have had a talk a with Dr. Hu about this matter. He thought that the Treasurers can be authorized to issue the check. May I therefore request you to let me know after you have sent the check to the Chase National Bank, Park Avenue Branch, for the credit of the Library, so that I can cable to Mr. Wang to this effect.

University of Hawaii
Honolulu, T. H.
March 15, 1950
Dear Dr. Yuan:
Many thanks for your letter of March the 9th. It was read with great interest and enthusiasm. I am greatly impressed by what you have been doing. It seems like an excellent project. Perhaps if we put our heads together, we may produce something very useful. In the following lines I am trying to tell you my plan for the Bibliography and what I have been doing these years.
General plan: A COMPREHENSIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY ON CHINA FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS. This includes books and periodical literature on China in all languages (Chinese and Japanese). But since Chinese and Japanese books are not fully available in this country, it seems logical to begin with Western materials first (At least we Chinese want to find out what other people have done in Chinese studies). This Bibliography will be arranged according to subject (I have worked out a definite scheme) with a general index of authors and sub-subject matter. Under each subject will be listed all books and important articles in chronological order with special emphasis on scholarly items indicated by book-review excerpts and annotations.
Period covered: The year 1921 was thought to be a good starting point for the reason that it could be a continuation of Cordier's Bibliotheca Sinica. But the arrangement in Cordier is so inconvenient that most of users prefer to have it revised. At the suggestion of William Hung, the years 1895-1945 was adopted (The ending of the first Sino-Japanese War to the ending of the Second Sino-Japanese War). However, there is sufficient good argument for the period starting with 1901 and ending in 1950. In fact, this seems to be a better choice for the reason that we can bring the material up-to-date.
What has been done: I started working on this Bibliography in 1947. Due to the fact that I have been tied up with both teaching and library work (with no full-time assistant), the progress is rather slow. So far, I have finished indexing 36 sets of periodicals in about 8,000 cards. There are quite a number of periodicals which I want to include but unfortunately the U. H. library does not have them. In addition to the above more than 2,500 titles of books have been listed with book-review excerpts on. This kind of work takes a lot of time. Averagely only 10 to 15 book reviews are read per day including copying. With the exception of reviews in German, I think I have covered 70 percent of the important book reviews. What remains to be done is the listing of titles, which is comparatively easy.
Financial Support: Personally, I don't think we have to worry about publisher. William Hung told me that Harvard-Yenching Institute would be willing to publish such bibliography. Or else we can approach either the American Council of Learned Societies or the Rockefeller Foundation. But our urgent need at present is financial backing for clerical help and typists. It would be an excellent idea to present our project to the International Conference on Bibliography and ask for appropriation of subsidies for this work.
Proposition: A Comprehensive Bibliography on China in all languages (1901-1950). This Bibliography will be comprised in 4 parts: (1) In English, French and German languages; (2) In other European and Central Asian languages; (3) in Chinese languages with English translations; (4) In Japanese with English translations. If financial support is assured, the first two parts will be ready for publication by the end of 1951. Then we can proceed with parts 3 & 4. This is only my personal view about this project and I should like to hear your opinion and plan. I know occidental scholars are greatly interested in Part 3, but you and I would like to make a complete bibliography. If both of us agree on general principles, we can discuss details later.
Mr. Ho To-yuan is still in Canton and seems to be doing well. In his letter to me recently he did not say much for the fear of censorship. I am trying to ask him to do some buying for the U. H. library.
I am sure you have seen Skachkov's Bibliography of Russian Books and Articles on China 1730-1930. Fairbank's work which I have examined in mimeographed form deals with materials concerning modern China for the Harvard Program of Regional Studies. His work will be included in ours. Sometime in the future I am going to ask him for permission to quote his annotations. The Harvard University press has announced that this bibliography will be out sometime in March. We have already ordered a copy.
With best regards to you and your family.
Yours very sincerely,
C. W. Taam

Dear Professor D. Elia:
I am most grateful to you for your letter of March 3rd and for your kindness in sending vol 2 & 3 of Ricci's works to the National Library at Peiping.
After looking over these volumes, I must once more express my great admiration and respect for your scholastic achievements. You have said the last word on the life and times of Ricci.
I want to thank you in particular for the extracts which you had sent to me. They are extremely useful to me, as I have been compiling a bibliography of books and periodical articles on China, to supplement Cordier's. In my efforts to include Italian titles, I have to ask your help and assistance. May I ask you to give me a list of the names of authors of works in Italian on China? With such a list, I can check up the title in Italian Catalogues.
The greatest difficulty is to obtain information about articles in periodicals and scientific journals. Is there any periodical index in Italy?
For your own articles, I hope you will give me a list indicating where they are published. If you have copies of the extracts to spare, please send me the same.
I am asking our Office in Peiping to send you the Bulletin containing Chen's article and the work by Hsiang Ta. Since Siberian railways have been running regularly, I presume that it would take less time to correspond with friends in China. If you need further information concerning Ricci, you may write to Mr. Wang Chung-min, the Acting Director, who will be glad to help you in any way he can.
With many thanks and best wishes for your success,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan
Kindly forward the enclosed letter to Prof. Tucci.

March 23, 1950
Dear Professor Tucci:
I have been on leave from my work in China and I have been engaged in compiling a bibliography on China. In this bibliography, I hope to include books and periodicals published since 1900.
For Italian titles and especially for your own writings to be included in the bibliography, I have to rely on your help. I shall be much obliged to you if you could give your advice and suggestions.
American libraries do not have a complete set of your writings. I enclose a list of them taken from the card catalogues of various libraries. Will you kindly add other titles, especially periodical articles, which are not listed there? I am most anxious to list as complete information as possible, and in this undertaking, I must ask for your assistance.
May I also trouble you to ask your publisher to send a complete prospectus concerning your monumental work Indo-Tibetica. How many volumes are there in the complete set? Are other volumes to appear in the future?
With sincere thanks for your assistance,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

Dear Dr. Creel:
Mr. Tsien wrote me recently that you expect to spend your furlough in Europe. I hope that on your way to New York, you will stop at Washington in order to let me have the pleasure of seeing you.
I have recently been engaged in compiling a bibliography on China to serve as supplement to Cordier's. I enclose herewith a list of your writings and if there are any omissions, please give me the additional titles. For periodical articles, I have to reply on your help. May I ask you to be good enough to send me a list of these articles, indicating where they were published.
I used to read your articles in the T'oung Pao and I have been wondering whether any index to the T'oung Pao has ever been published. As far as I know, there are at least three indexes being prepared.
When you go to Paris, may I ask you to find out from the Société Asiatique whether the index to the T'oung Pao is now completed? I met the lady who did the indexing in 1945, but I have not had any further news.
If you could make notes on young sinological scholars in Europe as well as their publications and let me look over them after your return, I shall be most grateful.
With best wishes for your continued success,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

April 4, 1950
Dear Dr. Yuan:
Your letter of March twenty-fourth to Dr. Creel, enclosed with one to Mr. Tsien, arrived after Dr. Creel left for Europe; so, since I am taking care of Dr. Creel's correspondence during his absence, Mr. Tsien gave it to me. I transmitted your requests to Dr. Creel by air mail and have now received his answer.
I have made for you a list of his publications, beginning with the year 1934, because he has said in his letter: “As for my publications, nothing earlier than 1934 is any good. I'd prefer to have the earlier ones omitted.” I suspect that some of the periodical articles included in my list may be useless for your purpose. You can probably tell from the titles if this is so. The two published in 1949 in People and United Nations World consist only of extracts from the book Confucius, the Man and the Myth.
Dr. Creel also says in his letter: “Please write Dr. Yuan that I'll do the best I can to get the information he wants in Paris.”
I hope that you are well, and wish you every success. It is good to know that you are engaged in compiling a work so much needed in Chinese bibliography, and I certainly hope that your work is going well.
Sincerely yours,
June Work

王重民覆函先生，退回先生前所汇美金二百元，并商洽平馆在美善本书运回等事。
守和吾师道鉴：
三月九日手谕，已由香港世圻兄转来，以前一信附有致斐云、稼轩信者则尚未接到。吾师所汇两百元，子明兄所汇一百元，均收到。唯该两佰元汇到上海，应先换成人民券，方能汇来北京。又因十一姊亦寄来伍百元，买房之费已有富余，因将吾师之两百元退回，请收到后代存Riggs银行，写C. M. Wang, Nat. Library, Peking, China即可。现存折上只剩几毛钱，再加入两佰元，如有在美零用之处亦方便也。俄文译稿迄未寄上者，实因现在出版书籍，以观点为重，对于帝俄旧史料，更要善于批评，方为有用著作。否则不但无益，而且有害。即于吾师个人方面，亦是如此，即是发表材料有不正确处，于将来亦不好也。生窃念吾师研究工作，颇有兴趣，但研究时应特别注重观点，最好将材料带回，到北京后再继续研究，将来由科学院出版，较在美国出版更好也。现在出版事业极发达，较国民党统治时代，其数量已超过数十倍。国学季刊、燕京学报以及科学院各种专门刊物，已由新华书店承印，即均将恢刊。吾师著述完成后，一定极易出版也。在美寄存善本书，将来再运固好，但如果现在能运，便早日起运更好。即便不能直运天津，不知是否可运抵香港？台湾解放，总在今年之内，惟不知在何月耳。当然，如早早解放，则搬运更容易也。为照顾台湾古物，可能有人与军队同时登陆，而且现在已有人在保护，一定没有损失。故寄美之书，若先期运到香港，更是一件大好事！南京上海两办事处均已撤消，全部图书运回，颂声兄已来馆。馨吾、育伊转在上海古委会作事。但徐森老已被任为文物局文物处处长，日内北上，则李、王二君，或将仍来馆作事也。Faxon去年欠费已开支票，想早已收到。如基金会真补了去年两季的，则1950年份即可继续订阅。唯美国重要杂志，久未收到，殆美政府有意扣留之故欤？若果如此，则订了亦收不到，不知可否在美找一代收处？英国杂志，即可续订（现已请到英镑八百镑外汇）。苏联方面，已订妥期刊220种，月报十几种，因太便宜，故均订双份。其他学术机关，已正式成立交换方式。唯蒙古、新疆等史料之在亚洲苏联者，尚未作正式交换耳。闻子明兄言，L. C.正在印卡片，吾馆新书卡片，现在需用八份，清写太难，在未能正式印卡片之前，在一二年内过渡时代，也想油印。请师调查一下，L. C.该印刷机是否在我国适用，所用底版成本如何？吾师如认为可用，归国时请带来一套。又吾师究竟与L. C.条约何时可满，何时可以回国？请先告知。L. C.善本书目，已印九卷，末一卷及附录俟吾师稿到后，即再付印。又恒先生来信，亦言及此事。北大出版组估单，前未寄出，日内可由李续祖寄去，请先告恒先生。即请旅安！

Dear Dr. Yuan:
Many thanks for your letter of March the 30th. It is perfectly agreeable to me that you will concentrate on titles in less known languages while I do those in English, French and German. It is very good of you to index those journals that are not found in the University of Hawaii library. This saves me a trip to the States.

Dear Dr. Taam:
Thank you so much for your letter of April 10th. I shall start indexing these journals that are not found in the University of Hawaii library. The lists which you kindly checked have been most useful.
If it would be convenient to you, I shall appreciate it if you could send me a copy of your classification scheme. I shall also send you new titles in English, French and German that come to my attention.
With regard to English translations of Chinese works, I have had the following reply from Mrs. Davidson:
“The work goes on and seems endless. I am now in the process of completing one phase which is in the proof-reading state.
The List is happily confined to translations from the Chinese into French, English and German. It includes all translations of approximately one hundred characters (including all poetry) and is thus extensive in scope. We have followed a subject classification, with some exceptions. The sections now in typescript are Classics, and Language and Literature.
Your friend who is contemplating a Japanese list has my admiration. Tell him courage and persistence, time and funds, are the essential ingredients for that dish. He will also need a good working staff, well mixed. The task of checking through the periodical literature is in itself a vast, time-consuming undertaking.”
Her address is: 6 Glenbrook Avenue, Hamden, Conn. You may write to her for further information. I understand that her work is being supported by the American Council of Learned Societies.
With kindest regards,
Yours sincerely,

April 20, 1950
Dear Dr. Yuan:
Your letter of April the 14th was duly received and immediately I went through the Classification scheme again and have just finished typing it this morning. I hope you will run through it carefully and make suggestions and improvement. Its formulation has been based on all the materials on hand. As we go along, we may have some alterations and additional items. As a whole I must admit that the main divisions are rather arbitrary.
When you wrote me saying that Mrs. Davidson has been working on the English translations of Chinese and Japanese titles, I thought that Parts 3 & 4 of our proposed project has been covered by her party. From your last letter, I note that she only confines to translations from the Chinese into French, English and German. I am wondering whether or not she will include in her List much more than that.
What I propose to do in Parts 3 & 4 of our project is as follows: We want to compile a bibliography of Chinese and Japanese titles (books and periodical articles) which deal with Chinese studies. It will be work similar to that attempted by the QUARTERLY BULLETIN OF CHINESE BIBLIOGRAPHY but different from it in the respect that we only list items that have direct bearing on China. For example, we don't include all Chinese books dealing with history but only those having connection with Chinese history. The Harvard-Yenching Institute published two indices called A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ORIENTALOGICAL CONTRIBUTIONS IN……JAPANESE PERIODICALS（①日本期刊三十八种中东方学论文篇目，②一百七十五种日本期刊中东方学论文篇目）. In our project we want to include also Japanese books on China or Chinese studies and have the authors romanized and the titles translated into English. I am sorry that I did not make it clear to you in my first letter. Such a project is a tremendous job which will need large appropriation of fund and quite large working staff. I wish you will take this up in the coming International Conference on Bibliography.
Enclosed I am sending you my drafted Classification for a Bibliography on China and also some samples for recording books and periodical articles which we have been using for our purpose. I sincerely invite your criticism.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
C. W. Taam

Dear doct. Yüan:
Fr. Fang Hao is writing to me from Formosa（“National” Taiwan University, Taiwan：台湾台北“国立”台湾大学）asking very earnestly to send him a copy of Vol. II and III of my Fonti Ricciane.
I was fortunate enough to have those copies be sent to him by my Editor. But since things are not quiet in the neighboring of Formosa and might get worse in the near future, I thought it better to send them to your own address with the joining prayer to think of the best way of having them shipped to him when you will have an occasion of doing so. I trust you for this and in the mean-time I will write to Fang Hao to let him know. When the two books will reach you, please let me know it.
Your letter of March 23rd announced me that you had received the copies which I had sent you for yourself and the Peiping Central Library, and I am glad you were pleased with them. A great amount of work was requested for the achievement of them, and I hope they may be useful to future historians.
As for the names of authors of works in Italian on China, they are not so many. At random I give you some: Vacca Giovanni, Rosso, Allegra, Cracco, Bortone, Bertuccioli, Musso, Vannicelli. A full list of all my articles from 1912 to 1947 will be given in the coming ANNUARIO per l'anno accademico 1946-1947 of the University of Rome which is not out yet and which I do not know exactly when it will come out. When it comes, I will try to get a copy for you. You will find there even the periodicals where they were published. I do not know whether in Italy there is any periodical Index.
I must thank you very much for your generosity for my further information concerning Ricci. I will surely avail myself of it, since now I should work on Ricci's Correspondence, where may other questions come up. I thank you also for the Bulletin containing Chen's article and the work by Hsiang Ta, which you have asked for me and which I hope will receive in the near future.
I forwarded your letter to Prof. Tucci.
With my best regards.

Dear Prof. Yuan:
In reply to your letter of the 4th April, I am sorry to have to inform you that my attempts to contact Dr. Haenisch-Berlin with a view to obtaining through him the publication required by you (“Die internationalen Beziehungen im Zeitalter des Imperialismus”) have been unsuccessful, since my several letters directed to him have been left unanswered, presumably because as director of the Public Scientific Library, situated in the Russian sector of Berlin, he is not free in his correspondence. I will now try to obtain a copy of this publication by advertising for it in a special periodical and shall inform you of the result as soon as possible.
As to the bibliography, compiled by you, of books and articles on China, I shall be very glad to assist you in the field of German sinology. To begin with I am sending you to-day as printed matter two lists of the writings of German sinologues A. Forke and O. Franke; a photostat-copy of the first part of the bibliography of Franke's writings will soon follow, accompanied by a list of my own articles. The most prolific of all German sinologues is undoubtedly Wolfram Eberhard, residing in America since 1948; his address is now: University of California, Department of Social Researches, Berkeley. You can also write to my old friend Prof. Ferdinand Lessing, attached to the same University of California, Department of Oriental Languages, Berkeley 4; Lessing is originally a German born, but has become an American citizen in 1936. There is a third German sinologue residing now in America: Prof. Helmut Wilhelm at the university of Seattle, who is probably known to you from China.
In regard to the “Combined Indices to Shih Chi” I am much obliged to you that you have written to your office at Peiping to secure a copy of this work which is indispensable for my further research work and to mail it to me direct.
With many thanks for your assistance and kind regards,
Fr. Jäger

又前奉四月十五日公函，通知会中补助费系由四月起至明年三月止，并附来支票壹千捌百元，已如数收讫，至谢至谢。目前工作，拟先将苏联、东欧及北欧、拉丁国家出版之文献编一简目，其数量已甚可观；至于英德法文发表者，则随时搜集，较易着手；最费时间者，即搜集期刊及专集中之论文，而按其性质予以分类，亦不易也，预计二年以后，方能完成。近闻Swann女士有退休之意，普仁斯敦大学图书馆副馆长Heyl近以继任人选征求Hummel之意见，闻渠已复函推荐同礼前往，但晤面时，渠并未提起，故亦不便询问一切。窃意此事如能实现，则在美可留二三年编辑上项目录，可在公余之暇为之。如该馆待遇尚好，则中基会之补助费，届时拟即退还。便中如晤Heyl，或渠提到Hummel之推荐时，似可声明此人可以胜任，如何措辞，即希钧裁为荷！

先生致信顾子刚，告已在美为平馆续订由Faxon经售的期刊，并建议向该公司预支壹仟美金，另外建议为来年订购英美期刊做好准备，尤其是向人民政府申请外汇，此外询问宋琳等人近况。
May 15, 1950
Dear Mr. Koo:
In his letter of March 4, Mr. Wang complained about the non-receipt of American Periodicals for 1950. I wrote to Faxon and found that subscriptions for 1950 were not received. I now enclose copies of our correspondence.
As the Post Office here accepts printed China for all of China and as the earlier number of certain journals may not be available if we do not place the order now, I have taken the liberty of placing the subscriptions for Mr. Wang. I have also cancelled a number of them as they are already in P. U. M. C.
When I was in New York, I called on the Chase Bank at the Park Ave. at 60th St. They told me that they have been holding the statement, and they have not even sent you the credit note for $2,500 from the C. F.
Faxon has complained in his earlier letters that Chinese libraries do not pay for their subscriptions and they owe him over $20,000. I would therefore suggest that you send Faxon a deposit of $1,000, in view of the $2,500 already in the Bank.
It is time for Mr. Wang to arrange with the authorities to have more exchange foreign in order to be prepared for the subscriptions for 1951 including those of British journals. In one of his letters, he said that $20,000 have been promised, but I wonder whether it has been actually received by the Library.
Have you received the invoices of books which I bought for the Library under your check of $100? They were sent to Mr. Wang from Hong Kong and the books were sent in 7 parcels. There are two books which should not be displayed to the public.
I have a copy of the People's Yearbook published in Hong Kong. Could you send me similar titles, including a recent telephone directory of your city? Have you sent me the scroll for L. C.?
In your next letter, please tell me something about Mr. Sung Lin and the two Wangs who were dismissed last year. Have they joined the Ministry of Education and left our dormitory?
With kind regards,
Yours truly,

守和兄：
谢谢你五月十日的信。
鄞县志二序，可补我的笔记的不足。谢谢。
关于我的书目，尚不及细校，只记出数点：——
①Royal Asiatic Society Journal——North China Branch——有我几篇文字：
(1) Wang Mang（王莽）—长文，似在1929。
(2) The Establishment of Confucianism as State Religion of the Han Empire（长文）似在1929或1930。
(3) Review of John Ferguson's book on “Chinese Painting”（Signed “H. S.”—似在1928. vol. ）
②Royal Asiatic Society Journal—London有我最早的一篇“Notes on Lionel Giles's translation of the敦煌录”，似在1915 or 1916——其时我署名“Suh Hu”。
③Demiéville评我的书的文字都在河内出的Bulletin，其中似有不少资料？
④你此目的最后一类“Articles about Dr. Hu”，其中有几篇是我自己的文字，如Asia所收“A Historian Looks at Chinese Painting”是我的一篇Lecture，如China Review收的“Hu—Marobushi Letters”即是我“告日本国民”二函的译文。以后如有所见，当再奉告。（此时的first impression是：此目所收，应删者多，很少是有关学术的文字。）
又记得我的“说儒”有Franke（儿子）的全译本，在德国发表。四十自述有Hoffmann的全译本，也在德国发表。我的丧礼改革一文，有Werner的英译文。我的短剧“终身大事”英文本全文收在A. E.Zucker's Chinese Drama书里。
承兄提议“代辑为专集”，此意弟愿意仔细考虑，但拟限于几篇有觔两的学术文字。日内拟先草一目寄上，请你指示。
你信上说起Princeton的事，昨日星期New York Times & N. Y. Herald Tribune都有Princeton U.校长Dodds发表请我作“Fellow of the Univ. Library and Curator of Gest Oriental Library with rank of professor”的消息。
此事的经过是这样的。
去年年底，Princeton有信来，说有人nominated我为“Alfred Hodder Fellow”，是一种post doctorate fellowship。当时因为我要谋改换status以便接太太来，故曾覆信允考虑。后来校长知道了，来信提议改请我为“Library Fellow”，并要我作Gest的Curator。当时我曾托人去说，“中国学人在此的，有人比我更胜任此事。”我的意思是预备推荐你（Miss Swann已退休了）。但此人来说，校长特别要请我，如果我为了护照的身份（status）问题，他愿意声明这是一个full professor的rank，虽然我不须教书上课。
我后来想想，我可以先去Princeton打开文史的一条路（Humanities），然后请守和兄来专力整理Gest。我在1943-4，Princeton曾请我去看Gest Collection，要我替他们想想“政策”（policy）。那时Swann在那儿把持不放，一切都谈不到。此时他们自动请我，我有打开门户的机会，故暂时接受了。将来我去Princeton时，一定要使他们明白请专家学者的必要，一定要请老兄来计画商量这一大批中国书如何能发生作用。此意我想老兄定能相信，定能了解。（我的Fellowship stipend是全年$4,500，每月为$375。我可以专作我的研究著作。Curator别无薪俸。因为他们并不期望我每日办公。）
鄞县志自光绪二年三年（1876-77）以后，曾有续修本否？乞便中赐示。
匆匆，敬问双安。
适之

Dear Mr. Yuan,
Thanks for your letter. Unfortunately, I was in Washington only for one day and was not able to follow up my first round of unsuccessful calls. I hope I will have more luck next time.
The last I heard from Wolfgang Franke is that he is still in Peking. His bargaining with Hamburg University had not reached any finality.
His translations of Hu Shih's说儒was published in Sinica-Sonderausgabe 1934 and 1935. (This was a special issue of the Sinica in which more scholarly articles were printed. Only four issues appeared altogether).
Dr. Alfred Hoffmann's address is:
Bergrather strasse 70
(22c) Eschweiler, Kr. Aachen, British Zone
and Fuchs might be reached through
Sinologisches Seminar
Universität Hamburg
where he was substituting for Franke when I heard about him.
Unfortunately, I have no contacts in the Russian zone of Germany. But I suppose letters will be forwarded directly.
Our □□□ you will find rather meager. But it costs a lot of money to build up a library and unfortunately, we have completely run out of it.
Yours truly

Cher Monsieur Yuan,
Je regrette beaucoup ne pouvoir rien dire concernant ce taiji de Junghar tué par □□□□□. Je ne sais rien de particulier à ce sujet. Je regrette aussi que je n'aie pas de photos de Mongols. J'en ai eu autrefois, mais je les ai distribuées par ci par là à mes amis quand j'étais encore à Pékin.
Je vous envoie par poste un petit livre écrit en chinois sur nos missions en Mongolie. Vous y trouverez les informations que vous demandez.
Autrefois nos missions de Mongolie ont parfois été l'objet de critiques de la part de certaines gens qui ignoraient les conditions propres aux pays situés au nord de la grande muraille. On nous a accusés d'être des impérialistes, etc. Vous me feriez plaisir si, après avoir lu ce petit livre, vous voudriez bien m'écrire en quelques mots votre opinion sur l'œuvre des missionnaires en Mongolie.
Quant à la question que vous me posez sur la manière dont les Mongols regardent les missions, je dois dire que les Mongols se convertissent très difficilement au christianisme, parce qu'ils sont très attachés au lamaïsme, mais en général les relations entre missionnaires et Mongols et entre Mongols catholiques et Mongols non catholiques sont cordiales.
Agréez, cher Monsieur Yuan, l'assurance de ma profonde considération.

Dear Dr. Yuan:
I take pleasure in sending you a letter to Dr. Fisher supporting the project about which you wrote me. I am enclosing a copy for your personal file. We are much interested in what you are doing and will expect to help you in any way we can if you call on us to do it. I am probably not the best person to be the supervisor of your research though there is no reason why you could not give my name as a reference to the Department of State if you would like to do it. You know how these administrative responsibilities eat up a man's time, so I have been obliged to delegate responsibility for supervising research to my colleagues. In addition to the resources of our own Faculty on which we can draw informally, we have, of course, Professor Goodrich's department. It strikes me that this is an area in which you may wish to take counsel with people in both of these departments.
In the paragraph above, I spoke of drawing upon Columbia resources informally. There is some kind of regulation about tuition payment which we wish to avoid in this case. I am not clear just what that regulation says as I write, but I am sure the simple consultation you have in mind will present no problem whatsoever.
Good wishes for the success of this application which I am pleased you let me write to support.
Sincerely yours,
Carl M. White

Dear Professor Jager:
I am most grateful to you for sending me the bibliography of Professors Forke and Franke. I hope to receive from you soon a photostat copy of the first part of the bibliography of Professor Franke together with a list of your own writings. I shall get in touch with the other three gentlemen you mentioned in your recent letter.
I would like to have a list of the writing of Professor Haenisch now at Munich and of Dr. Haenisch at Berlin. If you have occasion to write to them, will you kindly convey my wishes. I understand that Dr. Fuchs is now at Hamburg. If you see him, will you also ask him to send me a list of his writings and give him my present address? I hope he has resumed his scientific work.
Dr. Haenisch compiled for me a list of German sinological literature covering the years 1939-1944, which was published in our Quarterly Bulletin of Chinese Bibliography for December 1947. If you are able to communicated with Dr. Haenisch, would you be good enough to request him to compile a second list covering the years 1945-1950? I think it would be an extremely useful list and I shall see to it that it is published in China or in the United States. If you write him on my behalf, your letter will not receive much attention from the censors as one from the United States. The firm Otto Harrassowitz at Leipzig is in close touch with him and you may write him in care of that firm which is, of course, also situated in the Russian zone.
I enclose a letter to Dr. Hoffmann and I shall appreciate it if you could forward it for me. I would like to obtain a copy of the Sinica-Sonderausgabe for 1934 and 1935 which contain Wolfgang Franke's translation of Hu Shih's I understand that it is a special edition of the Sinica in which more scholarly works were printed, and only four issues appeared. May I trouble you to buy a copy for me and let me know the cost?
With sincere appreciation for your assistance,
Yours sincerely,
I just received your letter of June 18th and I do wish to thank you for obtaining a copy of the German edition of the Russian documents. I have sent you a cable, asking you to buy the set. Please ask the antiquarian to mail these volumes to Washington and let me know the cost of postage, so that a draft will be sent to you.

Dear Dr. Fisher:
I understand that Chinese research scholars are eligible for aid under the new program of emergency aid authorized by Congress.
If policies and procedures governing the program have been decided upon, may I take this opportunity to submit my application for your consideration? Enclosed herewith please find a statement of my academic and professional career and a letter of recommendation from Dr. Carl M. White, Dean, School of Library Service, Columbia University, who has consented to serve as my supervisor.
I am now engaged in writing the history of libraries in China. It deals with one important aspect of the cultural history of China which has not yet received adequate attention from Western scholars. In view of the vast field, the gathering of scattered material and the work of interpretation will take at least two years.
If financial assistance can be given under your program of emergency aid, I propose to continue the work at Washington, making full use of the resources of the Library of Congress, but to go to New York occasionally for consultation and advice from Dr. White as well as other faculty members at Columbia. I shall be grateful to you if due consideration could be given to this application.

Dear Dr. Yuan,
As I am leaving for England on the 24th I should be glad if you would return to me any of the manuscript on Feng Lin's diary which you may happen to have. It would also be a great service to me if you could get back from the Library of Congress the Chinese text, which I think you lent to one of the staff. I have received news from Pin Hsi in Peking, together with 2 photographs of his father. I hope that we may meet before I leave, and I would show you the photos. If I had had your telephone number I would have telephoned, instead of writing, and if you will let me have the number, I may still be able to propose a time for a meeting, as I should very much like to see you.
I have continued with Hsueh Fu-ch'eng's diary, but today had to return the book to the Congressional Library. I hope to take it up again (or something of the kind) when I get to Peking.
As I have 3½ months leave due to me in England, I shall not get to Peking till late in the year.

August 22, 1950
Dear Mr. Yuan,
First of all, I must ask you to pardon me for my intrusion. I have something which need help and President Fu-Ssu-nien told to write to you. I hope you will render me your kind assistance in the matter.
My relative, the Pan's family（广东南海宝礼堂潘）has the famous collection of antique books. This collection consists of about two thousand volumes of经史子集, all engraved and printed in Sung Dynasty. The late Mr. 潘宗周 started collection sixty years ago and the family had, for the past two generations, spent almost all they had on the collection. All these volumes had been studied and sorted by the most eminent authorities on Chinese literature and history, as well as confirmed by noted authorities on antique printing and engraving. By their combined efforts a catalog in four volumes was drawn up as key to these volumes. It is now considered as one of the best and most complete collections in China.
When Shanghai was in danger in the spring of last year, the British Council authorities in Shanghai approached Mr. Pan and talked about the safety of the books. They also asked about the price. It was hard for Mr. Pan to name it. The family has spent not less than US $500,000-on the collection and asked this sum as compensation. Mr. Pan was glad to place his books in safety and be made use of by the British sinologists. The British authorities then proposed to loan the collection to Bodleian Library for two years and after that buy the collection. This, Mr. Pan declined to accept as the family would like ready payment. Meanwhile situation in Shanghai turned from bad to worse the British authorities helped most kindly in packing and shipping the collection free to Hongkong where it is now under safe-keeping.
As Mr. Pan does not think Hongkong a nice place to keep his books now, he asked me to write the Congress Library to inquire if they would buy the collection. President Fu said you will be able to help us in some way. He had seen the books once himself and claimed they are of priceless value.
Will you please help us to sell the collection to the Congress Library or any other institution in the United States? The Pan's family will accept a price as low as US $400,00-against cash payment. They also offer a commission of 5%. I am sure you will be glad to see the books in safety too. I shall send you the four volumes of catalog if you wish.
Thanking you in anticipation and awaiting your reply.
Yours sincerely,

Dans votre dernière lettre vous me demandiez de vous procurer une Histoire des Missions de Scheut en Chine. Comme cette histoire n'a pas été écrite, je n'ai pu vous satisfaire. Mais je viens de mettre la main sur un livre qui traite de l'histoire des missions modernes chez les Mongols. Je viens de vous l'envoyer par poste.

何多源覆函先生，谈代订图书杂志、广州地区高校近况、国内学习俄文的趋势及北大图书馆学毕业生情况。
守和先生尊鉴：
八月三日手书敬悉。《郑樵校雠略研究》及《人民中国》经于日前挂号上，至在香港出版之周刊则托香港广大中学代订，因香港出版品如未经此间登记者不能进口也。最近政府颁布禁止珍贵文物图书出口，凡寄出图书杂志均须送市政府新闻出版处审查，核准后方能将书送邮局查验放行。L. C.之书报俟审核后方能寄出，《东方杂志》已停刊，但中华书局出版之《新中华》月刊内容颇佳。
源本学期原已接中山大学之聘任代主任职，但广大校长许崇清先生极力慰留，不便离去。广大本学期经济情形好转（学生约有千人），待遇可增一倍，较中大为高。岭大方面亦趋好转，教授月薪约有港币二百余元，并供给住屋。现白米每市担约值港币二十余元，每人每月伙食约港币三十元（美金一元值港币六元）。岭大校长仍为陈序经先生，王力为文学院长，现有学生约千三百人，每人收费每学期学什费约四百元港币，比燕京大学高两倍半，为全国学费之最昂者，但其学生来源多为华侨子弟及香港富商之子女，对于学费不在乎也。
现国内学校课程列俄文为第一外国语，源已开始学习四个月。本市电台早晚播送俄语教授，颇便学习。坊间俄文书籍、杂志颇多，但精通俄语者，全国统计只有千人，而英文人才则有十三万之多。先生早年在北京圕创办苏联研究室，足具远见。先生在北大创办之图书馆学专修科，今年第一届毕业，均由政府分配工作。台驾何时返国，便乞示知。此请大安。

朱士嘉覆函先生，谈国内情况并请先生归国。
守和先生：
收到你最近的信，知道尊况为慰。现在敬答问题如下：
（一）武大教员名录尚未印发。（二）关于科学（用英文写的）杂志，此间没有听到，北京方面或许有。有三一定知道。（三）归国后的观感。归国后到过武昌、汉口、北京、上海。归纳起来，政府上下廉洁、苦干，检讨自己工作。各机关极力免避浪费，力求简省。所以解放一年半以后，财政方面，出入平衡，物价稳定。北京、汉口市面日渐繁荣。上海方面春季生气凋落，但从八月起渐见起色。政府提倡生产，学生都参加。今年各地丰收。承灾区域大大的缩小，政府对此曾设法救济，没有借用外国人一分钱。政府对于以前的反动分子非常宽容。如果他们能反省合作，尽量请他们帮忙。并且用感化的方法而不用高压的手段。我现在这里一方面学习（自己多看新的著作），一方面开一门中美关系史。带回来许多中文档案，不久望利用。有三除在北京图书馆以外，还兼北大的图书馆专修科的工作。寿萱当北大博物馆馆长。毓铨在北京历史博物馆做事。先晋与寿萱仝事。国内需要专家，尤其前辈如先生者出来指导。现在作何归计否。告诉你的消息望专告其他的朋友。祝好！

Cher Monsieur Yuan,
Les lettres de Mgr Bermyn n'ont été préservées qu'en petit nombre. Je suppose qu'une partie en doit être en Belgique, mais il serait assez difficile de trouver quelqu'un qui veuille faire des recherches dans cette correspondance, surtout parce que l'écriture de Mgr Bermyn est très difficile à lire. Je sais que vous vous intéressez à l'histoire de la mort de ce □□ du “□□ Banner”. Je ferai comme ceci. J'écrirai encore aujourd'hui au J. Van Hecken, l'auteur du livre “Les Missions chez les Mongols”, qui est à présent à宁夏. Il s'est occupé beaucoup de l'histoire des Ordres et il pourra peut-être nous donner des informations. Il pourra aussi nous indiquer la voie de trouver cette lettre du 7 mars 1907.
Je vous communiquerai sa réponse.
Veuillez agréer, Cher Monsieur Yuan, l'assurance de ma profonde considération.

Dear Prof. Jaeger:
I am most grateful to you for your Chinese letter which you sent to me in August. It was so beautifully written that I showed it to some American sinologues, they feel very much ashamed that they cannot have that accomplishment. I congratulate you for having written in such literary style and beautiful calligraphy.
I was away for the whole month of September and knowing that you also had a nice vacation, I did not try to bother you with further requests. All I want to say is to thank you most sincerely for the bibliographies of Prof. Franke and Prof. Forke which you so kindly sent to me. They are very useful to my work.
Will you also kindly thank Dr. Haenisch for me for sending me a list of books on China since 1947? I have asked our office at Peiping to send similar lists to him at Berlin, as it is very quick for them to write to him via Siberia.
Dr. Haenisch sent me a list of books on China in 1946 in which he included all German sinological works published up to the end of 1945. Now, this list starts with 1947, it does not have titles published in 1946. When writing to him, could you ask him to compile a list for German sinological works published in 1946 and have it sent to me?
I only need a bibliography of your own writings as well as Dr. W. Fuchs. If he is in Hamburg, will you ask him to send me his own list and extend to him my best wishes and kind regards?
If it is not too much trouble to you, could you send me a list of German sinologues and the institutions with which they are connected? There are probably many young scholars whom I have not met and whose writings I have not seen.
I am glad to get the Indexes to Shih-Chi which I ask the Harvard University Press to send to you. If you need other books, please let me know. I shall be most happy to send them to you.
I have received all the volumes of the German translation of Russian documents for which I am most indebted to you. I wrote to Doerling about the safe arrival of the 16 volumes and asked him to inform you about it.
With renewed thanks for your kindness and assistance,
Yours sincerely,
P. S. I hope you will kindly send me the bibliography of Prof. Haenisch's writings. Is it easy to compile a bibliography of the writings of Dr. Arthur von Rosthorn, the Austrian professor of Chinese at Vienna?

24th October, 1950.
My dear Director Yuan,
I was very glad to have your letter of 23rd September which I also showed to Professor Edwards. I was glad to have your news and was very interested to hear that you are preparing a supplement to the Bibliotheca Sinica. Is there any hope that this supplement will include an index to the whole work? I am enclosing a new list of Professor Edwards'writings and my own list will follow as soon as ready.
We are all very glad to have Harry back and you are right in supposing that he was far less enthusiastic than Mr. van der Sprenkel. But there are special reasons why I would like you to keep this information confidential. Experience must vary according to the place one happened to be and as you know Harry was in Chengtu.
Re Asia Major, We are just preparing the first number of Volume II. Volume I is complete with two issues which are out.
Thank you for enquiring about Mrs. Liu whose work is indeed very satisfactory. I am afraid, however, that we can do nothing for Mr. Cheng of whom I saw a good deal while in Hongkong. We have no vacancy here at present nor is there any to my knowledge at the B. B. C. You are of course aware of the many Chinese, particularly of diplomatic staffs in Europe, who do not wish to return to China and there are therefore so many applicants for the few posts in existence that frankly speaking it would be unkind to raise Mr. Cheng's hope for a post in this country.
You may be interested to know that a short time ago the School was offered the following 7 volumes of the Yeongleh-dahdean:
807/8, 1036/7, 5244/5245, 13872/3,
13874/5, 15713-15715, 16217/8.
The School of course is not in a position to buy them but do you think the Congress Library or alternatively the Peking Library would? If so, I shall let the owner know. As you will see, none of the volumes concerned is included in your list.
With kindest regards,
Yours very sincerely,
W. Simon

You are very kind last June to write to the Department of State in support of my application for a grant-in-aid. As I have not heard from the Department for so long, I called at Dr. Fisher's Office the other day and found that my application had been misplaced, so it has not had the attention of the Department.
I was told that I have to make a new application and to fill a form which has to be endorsed by the official supervisor. I am sending it to you and hope you will put your signature on application. Please note various items listed in the announcement, a copy of which is enclosed for your information.
I also enclose a tentative outline which has to be approved by the supervisor. If you find it satisfactory, please mail my application and the various documents direct to Dr. Thomas R. Fisher, Division of Exchange of Persons, Room 534, Department of State, Washington 25, D. C.

On July 24, 1950, I submitted an application for a research grant under your program of emergency aid to Chinese student and Scholars. As I have not heard from you, I made inquiry at your office and found that my application had been misplaced.
Since you have issued new forms to be filled out by every applicant, I am asking Dean White of the School of Library Service, Columbia University, to put his signature on my application. I also enclose a tentative outline and a vita.
The book which I propose to write deals with one important aspect of the cultural history of China which has not received adequate attention from Western scholars. I shall be grateful to you if due consideration could be given to this application, so that the work will be initiated at an early date.
Very sincerely yours,

Dear Dr. Yuan:
The booklets “Thesis and Dissertations by Chinese Students in America” have been out of print for some time. We do have our reference copies in the Library in case you would want to make use of them for a short while.
Because of the present high cost of printing the Institute has been unable to do much in the way of putting out printed material. The China Institute Bulletin and the Journal were also discontinued a couple of years ago.

October 30, 1950
Dear Dr. Yuan:
I make prompt acknowledgment of your letter of October 25 in order that you may tell me how I may best assist the discussions you are having with the officers of the State Department. According to the instructions which reached Columbia this fall, this might take either of two forms. One would be for you to submit a project to Columbia. Such an application could be sent to me, but all applications of this kind are approved by a single officer in the University. Some officer in the School of Library Service or in the Libraries would undoubtedly be called upon to supervise any Columbia project in your field. So far as I am aware, the University has had only a few applications, and the applicant has in every case planned to do his work in residence. Non residence would pose a new problem, and I doubt whether the University would undertake to supervise a project unless it were in a position to give effective supervision. The reason for supposing that this might be so lies in the fact that the University must give a report of progress, I understand, from time to time on how the work is progressing. I have to date not talked with my colleagues in the School about this kind of undertaking. Knowing how hard-pressed everyone feels he is, this would be another problem which would have to come up for consideration. I think it would depend a good deal on what the proposal was in detail.
The other way I might be of some help would be for you to apply to some other institution of your own choice and, in so doing, list my name as a reference. I should be pleased to list my name if I may assist best in that way.
With kind personal regards, I am,
Yours sincerely,
Carl M. White

November 2, 1950
Dear Dr. White:
Thank you so much for your letter of October 30.
Since I consider the School of Library Service as my Alma Mater, I prefer very much to have the School sponsoring my project in writing a book on the history of books and libraries in China. I enclose therefore a formal application which you may like to have for transmission to the officer in charge of these applications at Columbia.
If non-residence would pose a new problem, I wonder whether this problem could not be solved by delegating a part of supervision to some scholar here in Washington. Dr. Arthur W. Hummel, Chief, Division of Orientalia, Library of Congress, would be glad to supervise a research project of this kind if you would write to him officially. In talking with him the other day, he gave me to understand that he strongly endorsed this project.
The Library of Congress would be ready to sponsor such projects as bibliographical compilations and the making of indexes. As to the writing of a monograph on the history of Chinese books and libraries, they feel that it should more logically be sponsored by a library school.
If you do not find it possible to sponsor this project because of non-residence limitations, I shall fully understand your position. In any case, I shall be glad to hear your decision at your convenience.
With sincere thanks,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

November 2, 1950
Dear Dr. White:
In connection with my application for a research grant from the Division of Exchange of Persons, Department of State, I beg to submit the following project for your consideration and approval.
I have been gathering material for a book to be published in English and entitled: History of Books and Libraries in China. The purpose of this study is to survey the history of books and libraries in the growth of Chinese civilization. It will include the evolution of Chinese characters, writing materials, the manuscripts, paper-making, invention and spread of printing, famous presses and the traditional method of book production. It will also deal with the history of ancient, mediaeval and modern libraries and the role of books and libraries in the development of Chinese scholarship. Emphasis will be placed on the relationship between the successive stages of book and library development to the social and cultural conditions of the various periods. A tentative outline is herewith enclosed.
It is my desire that the School of Library Service will sponsor and endorse this project. I shall come to New York occasionally for consultation and advice and I shall keep in close touch with the supervisor or supervisors whom you may appoint to supervise the work.
If this application is approved by the University, will you write to the State Department (Dr. Thomas R. Fisher) enclosing my application and various documents in accordance with regulations as noted in the Announcement, copy of which was sent to you in my recent letter.
Yours sincerely,

20th November, 1950
Dear Dr. Yuan:
I have delayed a little in answering your second letter of October 30th because it has taken me some time to find out about the books published in Macao. However, the Portuguese Consulate-General here in Hongkong have promised to get the required information from Macao for me. They have not mentioned anything about a search fee and I hope they will simply supply a copy of the list issued by the Imprensa Nacional. If this has to be purchased, I will let you know.
While I have been finding out about the Macao publications, I have had a search made through the post-war Hongkong Gazettes for you and now enclose a list of the relevant publications. The headings are self-explanatory and as the number of books in category (1) is so small only one list has been made. I think there will be no difficulty in sorting out the titles for the bibliographical headings you require.
The work was done by a refugee Chinese professor who was very glad of the opportunity to do a small temporary job as she has no permanent job here and very little money.
She spent five hours searching here in the University and another hour in typing and arranging the list. I don't really like being a financial “go between” and can only suggest that the more or less standard rate for private teaching here in Hongkong be applied, i. e., HK $12 an hour, making a total of HK $72 or US $12. I think she would be very satisfied with that.
I haven't met Mr. Fitzgerald yet but Mr. Scott has met him casually several times. I hope he will dine with us this week.
Mr. Scott is spending all his spare time doing a series of oil paintings from his existing drawings and notes of Chinese drama characters, and completing his graphic records whenever opportunity offers. Until now these have been few in Hongkong but张君秋is now giving a season every Saturday afternoon at a big theatre in Kowloon, so once a week at least “China proper” comes to Hongkong!
My husband has also always regretted that he did not ask you for the Chinese titles of the illustrated books on the Drama you mentioned were in the library in Peking. If it is possible for you to remember any of them, I know he would be very grateful to have a note of them in Chinese and English.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Dorothea Scott

Your kind note of Nov. 20 reached me today. By the same mail I am sending you a copy of my bibliography from FEQ. 1937/47. A supplement for the Oriental countries (outside of the Far East & Central Asia) was submitted two years ago to the Bull. Of the New York Public Lib., but they have as yet not published it. A suppl. to the bibliography in FEQ, but for the years 1931/36 was publ. in mimeographed form by the Russian Research Center, Harvard. Unfortunately, I have no spare copies left. But you could get a copy through Prof. John K. Fairbank, 127 Littauer Ceutes, Cambridge, Mass., whose auspices it was published.
Regarding German Sinological journals, there is Oriens, publ. by Brill in Leiden; Artibus Asiae, Ascona (Switzerland); Sinologica, Basel; Archiv für Ostasien, Düsseldorf (diseon-Aimred after the first issue); Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Ges, has resumed publication in Wiesbaden; Saeculum, a new quarterly, started publication this year, it contains a number of good articles in the Far Eastern field, esp. China.
A note on German sinology 1949/50 is going to appear in the next issue of FEQ. I hope that this information may be of use to you.

前上一函，谅能先此达览。顷复承手示，对贱恙屡致惓惓，垂眷愈殷，铭感愈切。本年四月大病，幸告好，但病后调养未善，致气体虚弱。现在文管会任图书处主任之职，每日晨七时出，晚六时归，有不胜繁剧之感。此间接收图书达二十五万册，尚待接收者有六十余万册，现拟租赁雷士德研究所房屋，筹备一大规模之图书馆，但工作人手缺乏，内部人士问题极难处理，专门人才只有王育伊兄一人。本月起又被调往中国科学院图书馆，故筹备工作几无法进行。目前国内抗美援朝运动各处风起，平馆报名参加志愿军者闻有多人，保家卫国有争先恐后之象。英文《季刊》于本年一月全部运回北京，沪上无存书。曾屡函子刚兄照寄，竟未寄上，不知是否有所不便，当再函询之。中国科学院方面由育伊兄查得，另纸所开各刊物随函附上，但物理化学著作书目，则尚未查出。海关、亚洲文会、震旦博物院（前有请求公家接收之讯）、广学会等处出版西文书业务，皆已停顿。兹附上中华医学会书目一纸，如续有所得当再奉上。至于国人用俄文撰述者，至今尚未之闻。南京图书馆现由贺昌群□任馆长，顾斗南在该馆供职，其他南北同人一切如常。此差堪告慰者也。肃此，敬请道安。

按：“雷士德研究所”全称应为“雷士德医学研究院”（Henry Lester Institute for Medical Research），以英国旅沪著名建筑师、地产商和慈善家亨利·雷士德（Henry Lester）命名，1932年在上海建成，位于爱文义路（今北京西路）。

王重民覆函先生，告国内局势、平馆情况，劝先生早日归国并谈及注意事项。
守和吾师道鉴：
奉到手谕后，即和郑西谛、王冶秋商议，他们都非常欢迎吾师早早回国，继续发展我图书馆事业，多多为人民大众服务。
新的中央人民政府内主持文教的是“文化教育委员会”，主管文化、教育等部，新闻、出版等署和科学院。部署院下面各设若干局，文化部内有文物局，是主管图书馆、博物馆和考古发掘等事。文教委员长是郭沫若，文化部部长是沈雁冰，文物局局长是郑振铎，副局长是王冶秋。文物局内又设三处：图书馆处处长大约是向达，博物馆处处长是裴文中，副处长是王振铎；考古处处长大约是夏鼐，副处长是苏炳琦。觉明事情颇忙，不大愿就。西谛原有请吾师之意，因不在京，所以大家劝觉明，直到现在，觉明可允维持过渡，俟吾师到后再转让。裴文中亦表示愿办一个“自然博物馆”，西谛答应他馆长兼处长，所以吾师到后，西谛亦拟请师以馆长兼处长，如此则一切可极得手矣。
觉明现充北大校务委员兼图书馆馆长，韩寿萱除北大外，兼历史博物馆馆长，该馆已有职员四十余人，收入各方捐赠珍品数万件，大非昔比矣。曾昭燏即可发表中央博物院院长，徐森老则将发表中央图书馆馆长。蒋慰堂各方面托人来说，要来京作事，但因他和反动派有较长的历史，如回来，亦需要先给予较长时期的训练和改造。在最近将来，不能负任何行政责任。西谛已明白表示。
至于馆中情形，从一九五〇年可开始发展，计划书已呈上去。现有职工一百六十七人，（宁沪不在内）明年可再增一百人上下。今年收赠及购买之书有十二万多册，明年国内出版者又都可得一份或两份赠送本，更可能有两万美元买外国书。办公费以外还有事业费，所以作书套，订洋装都有很充足的款子。静生房子不一定能收回，所以明春要在大书库后另盖一个同样大的书库，楼下不留办公室，共有七层，书架稍加密，可容两百万册书。在未盖其他大楼以前，先在东边树林内多盖一些平房。又上海所存报纸，已卖与出版总署，即可用以买一处宿舍。出版事业，以后统由出版总署办理，明年吾馆除年报及四十周年纪念刊外，要出一份“新书月报”和“全国新书总目”。
吾师回国问题，要加赶并提前实现，但有二事，要
，并且应该
：
一、给郑西谛、王冶秋写一信，表明
，并且愿为人民大众服务。寄美善本书，可把提单带回，一俟航运畅通，一定可提回。
二、回国路线，最好取道欧洲。不论签赴英或赴法护照，并不难办理，到法国如不易，签赴苏护照，可去另一小民主国家，赴苏俄一行。此事最重要。因为一则苏联东方学者方面，对吾师感情素好，而由苏回国，最为
也。师兄姊等能维持，最好不要回国，师母暂留亦可，则吾师单人旅行，虽经行数国，亦不到有若何困苦也。
以上两点，请师详慎考虑，但生所见，则极为正确也。至于行政一节，现在不像以往那样困难。以往把一切责任集于馆长一人，许多地方是劳而无功；现在作长官，是只管
，
，故能垂拱而治，想吾师一登祖国土地，立时能看清楚是进步多多了！
北大代L. C.所印善本书目，恒先生好像没有看明白我那封中文信，说所以长钱的原故，不是因为别的，是因为篇数增多了！最好找出那封信，向他解释一下，增加的篇幅，我那信上都写明白了！
现已印完九卷，我想都寄去，请恒先生依印成卷数、页数作引得，大概不久就可接到。
吴光清兄想不回国，不知钱存训兄是否赶即回来。孙云铸有一弟弟，在美国学图书馆学，闻已毕业，明年回国。北大图书馆专科自成立以后，专任缺人，能有一位副教授或讲师来帮忙最好，不知钱存训兄肯作否？
专此，即请旅安！师母统此问候。

按：王振铎（1911—1992），字天木，河北保定人，燕京大学毕业，曾在北平研究院等处任职。“苏炳琦”应为苏秉琦（1909—1997），河北高阳人，考古学家，1934年北平师范大学历史系毕业，后任北平研究院史学研究所副研究员。孙云铸（1895—1979），江苏高邮人，古生物学家、地质学家，该函中谈及其弟应指孙云畴（1917—2014），后确归国并任北京大学图书专修科教员。

怀特覆函先生，告知已将申请文件寄还至先生在华盛顿的住址。
November 28, 1950
Dear Dr. Yuan:
The assistant Provost wrote Mr. Fisher in regard to your application. His reply of November 17 indicates the procedure required by the legislation governing the fund appropriated for the program. The letter clarified matters for us here at Columbia. The purpose of my writing is to be sure that a copy reached you. The letter states that a copy of it was mailed to you at your Washington address, which I take to mean your residence.
With kind personal regards, I am,
Very sincerely yours,
Carl M. White
P. S. Your kind letter has just came. We have telephoned the Ass. Provost office regarding the application and assumed it will be returned.

何多源致函先生，告在广州、香港购买书刊的情况。
守和先生尊鉴：
十一月廿六日挂号寄上下列各种期刊，想不久可以到达座右。
一、《人民中国》二卷三——七期及第九期（今日寄上八、十两期）；
二、《中国科学》一卷一期；
三、《燕京社会科学》五卷一期（英文本）一九五〇年；
四、《新建设》第二期（赠阅本）；《科学通报》，中国科学院印行。
又前托友人在港代定《天地新闻》半年，需港币三十元，值美金五元，未知有收到此刊否？如未收到，请即示知，以便向出版者交涉。由十月三日起寄往韩慕义先生处之书刊，已值美金壹百四十九元八角三分，未悉已收到一部份否？便请一查示知，然后再寄。因此间最近虽收挂号寄往国外之邮件，但声明不负安全到达之责也。又因邮件须由香港转寄，故邮资比由美国寄此间约高一倍。例如由美寄航空信来广州不过美金二角五分，但由此寄美国则要美金五角。嘱代购英文刊物，已函京沪搜购。一俟购得，当即寄奉不误。此请钧安。

颜复礼覆函先生，寄上前请书目、行述，并告傅吾康将接替自己出任汉堡大学汉学教授。
同礼先生阁下：
岁云暮矣。弟尚思将本年书信债务为之束清。十月四日大札尚未奉覆，此乃最紧急之债务。阁下十二月廿日来函道及此，诚有因也。久未奉覆之原因乃最近三月中，弟为其他无法延搁之工作所羁绊，虽全衷欲将阁下所需要之各种书目完成，终无暇及此，怅何如之。弟于前函中已道及弟固甚愿支持阁下之书目工作也。目下弟尚须作一长篇批评论文，约一月十日左右可完毕，然后必开始书目工作以答尊愿。今暂寄上以下各种：
1．拙着Forke书目一份。
2．拙着Otto Franke行述一份。
3.中国建筑学研究之首创人Ernst Boerschmann之着作书目一份。No. 1 and 2 will be sent by ordinary post。Erich Haenisch之完备着作书目，容觅得寄上。Fuchs曾在汉堡充当代理教授二学期，弟早已将尊愿转达。渠现在明兴充当代理教授，如渠尚未寄上彼之着作书目，则弟将代为收集寄呈。
阁下果能再与弟二月时间，则感激甚矣。汉堡方面，弟之后继任乃Otto Franke之子Wolfgang Franke，曾居中国十三年，在北京中德文化学院任务，并充北京大学、成都大学教授，其夫人为中国女士。关于寄上德国最近出版汉学研究书籍之事，弟当向Doerling书局接洽不误。
值此桃符换旧，弟谨以至诚祝阁下百吉，尤望政治局面之转变不致对阁下有何影响也，想一时阁下亦难有可能返国。最后，弟尚不能不声明，弟之前信及此信乃请此间一中国太太翻成中文，由弟抄呈。阁下之美誉，弟何敢当之哉。
专此奉覆，即颂台祉，并贺年禧。
弟颜复礼Fritz Jäger顿首

按：“拙着”当作“拙著”，“着作”当作“著作”。Ernst Boerschmann（1873-1949），德国建筑师，二十世纪初来华，行程数万里，对中国各省古建筑均有考察，拍摄了大量照片，回国后出版了一系列有关中国的专著。Doerling似为古旧书店，待考。
