THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION NEW YORE THE SOCIAI, SCIENCES EUROPEAN OFFICE EDMUND E. DAY, DIRECTOR 20, RUE DE LA BAUME S. M. GUNN, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR PARIS (8), FRANCE JOHN V. VAN SICKLE, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR CABLE ADDRESS : ROCKFOUND, PARIS TRACY B. KITTREDGE, FELLOWSHIPS TÉLÉPHONE : ÉLYSÉES 92-08 ÉLYSÉES 92-09 Paris, September 3, 1932, Professor J.G.Anderssen, Ostasiatiska Samlingarna Sveavägen 65, STOCKHOLM. Dear Professor Anderssen, I am running over the materials which I have collected in Europe regarding Ethnological studies in various culture areas. In reviewing some of the suggestions that have been made regarding China and the Orient, I see that I have not yet received a memorandum from you on this subject. If this is simply due to the loss of a letter in the mail, would you be good enough to send me at once a duplicate copy of whatever you wrote me, May I remind you that we had some discussion in your office in June about the possibility of conducting a complete JEthno- logical study in two characteristic culture areas in China, The time that we had for discussion of such projects was limited, but I was much interested by your proposal to employ the systematicimethods of modern ethnological and social anthropological work on this ancient culture. Ås I remember, you were to make suggestions regarding the areas and places that seemed to you particularly worth studying, and also regard- ing individuals qualified for such undertaking. I wish you to know that I should still be glad to have this information and that it is not too late to reach me at this office with a letter. If it is not too great an inconvenience I should value your comment on the possibilities of ethnological work in this territory. I should like your suggestions to add to the material that I have already obtained from other sources on this territory, and as a part of the information of my general report. You understand of course that I am seeking your advice merely as a matter of information and that there is no indication yet that anything immediate or practical will come out of your proposals however valuable. May I take this opportunity of thanking you again for our pleasant meetings in Stockholm and for your very kind courtesy and hospitality. I remember my visit with great interest & pleasure. Very sincerely, 10/EC. L.Outhwaite
