184, Meikakudal, Dalren, 24, Jan 1928 My dear Dr. Andersson, Many thanks for your kind letter of the I4thn Dec. I have not yet received your German edition or the photographs but registered post comes always a little late. E In my last letter I have already mentioned Dr. Wong's idea about the printing of the Palaeontologia Sinica, I have already suggested to Dr. Wong that efforts should be made to get more funds for the research on early man. A formal letter has been sent to the Rockerfellow people asking for funds, Black : seems to be in very good spirit. I have just received a long letter from him fritten on board the steamer carry: ng him to Canada. He is golng to Europe this year and you may be able to see him there, The Chou KouTien find has considerably chkered him up. In my last trip to Japan I found that cowry shells very similar to the classical ones existed on the shoresg at Beppu, Kiushiu, I am sending you under separate cover some of specimens. It may interest Odhner to make some comparisons, The reasons you gave for the Shansi move agalnst Mukden are all incorrect, Yen has never been a friend of the latter. After the last occupation of Hsuchou by the Shantung troops Chang Tso-ling pressed Yen very hard to declare himself against Fen Yu=-hsiang. Threats were also used, That decided Yen's attitude towards Mukden. He rightly thirnks that 1f Mukden wipeg out Feng he will be the next one to be eliminated and attempts are made therefore to take the offensive, You have to remenber the Mukden party in spite of its military strength is more hateå than feared., The outcome of this struggle is still uncertaln, I think both Yen and Feng are not easily destroyed, The lack of probpper equipment is the only thing against them.The way in which Feng has been able to keep his men together under terrible haråshi fm ig quite marvelous, I have already read Maspero's "La Chine Anticue" with great interest and appreciation., I enclose a letter to ProF. Karlgren (to whom I should have written long ago) in which I venture to make some comments, Please forward it to him, Fopk- on Vunna I have made considerable progress with my work on Yunnan, but it will take me longer time to finish than I expected mainly because my hopeless lack of draughtsmanship., As soon as I have got this out of my way I will start on history. With best regards, Yours sincerely, E TR
