THE NATIONAL GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CHINA 9 PING MA SSU, WEST CITY, PEIPING, CHINA AR fr TR 2 ut? MAY g 198300 I cannot of course ask you to extend the same courtesy which you did to me out of personal friendship to a stranger, but I want to tell you that far from being dissatisfied with Prof, Seligman, I have been really under a great obligation to him for his unfailing sympathy and understanding when I feiled to do what I had promised, Although Prof. Seligman's request to you came from him direct without my previous knowledge — for I would not dream åf giving him any instruction without your consent. Thanking you once more and looking forward to see you in August. Yours very sincerely, a Vv TU (V. K. Ting) 03/4 kr,

Foster Bain, Room 1326, at 25, Broadway, New York. With regard to Prof. Seligman's request I want to tell you that the responsibility for failing to fulfil the contract is entire- ly on my side, When I accepted the offer I had no job, intending to live for one year on my savings in order to do the writing, but after the l8th Sept. 1931, Chinese Government bonds dropped heavily in value and I was forced to accept The professorship of geology at the Peking University in order to live, fäesanline feeling Snewhat ashamed for not doing anything in a national crisis Hu Shih and I founded jointly anev political weekly called "The Independent Critie" of which we are joint editors, This made do it quite impossible for me se serious writing,
