Dvs MINISTRY OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS February 13, 1939. Dr. J. G. Andersson Ustasiatiska Samlingarna Stockholm, Sweden. Dear Dr. Andersson, I received only yesterday the Swedish edition of your book on China. I tried to have a rapid view of this volume although unable to understand the Swedish writing. It must be a very interesting book as it records the recent political events and the principal episodes of our fight against the Japonese invasion. It is the more important as written by an author who has an intimate knowledge of China from Peking to Kansu and Tibet. the maps in this book have been evidently taken from some older edition as clear from the inadequate repre- sentation of the railways. There is for instance one new line from Hangehow westward to Nanchang ir Kiangsi. A short but strategically important line has also been completed between Soochow and Kiashing. On the south train is already running between Hengehow in Hunan and Kweilin in Kuangsi. The Lunghai rail line is now extended to Paoehi west of Sian in shensi province. And in Shansi a railway has been built from Tatung on the north to the opposite side of Tungkuan on the south In spite of the military success of Japonese troops they have great difficulties in getting hold of several rail- ways such as Peking-Hankow and Hankow-Canton. Besides the railways there are of course our highways which have con- siderable importance in our inland communication. I thank you very much for this gift and shall receive with still greater pleasure the English edition of this book from whieh I shall be able to understand all the content. I thank you also for your kind dedication in the book expressing your bright hopes for China's final complete victory. Yours sincerely, LONAStäng
