O9Fa 32. + 19332 B. D. Je. A Nixon Esg.; Postal Commissioner, Tsinan, Snankung , China. Via Sibiria. Dear Mr. Nixon, I am sorry that I have not long before replied to your very kind letter of the 15th of Dec. last. Our plans for our exhibitions in connections PECK the International Congress of Art History in Sept, have not taken definite shape until in the last few days. For this reason I have postponed writing you until now. The time of the Congress is Sept. lj »- 7. It would be most wel- come to us if you could come over to Europe and attend to this Congress, ås there will certainly be quite a gathering of prominent men in Chinese and Mongolian Art. In fact we åre golng to extend our invitations to all prominent men in this field of research. In conneetion with this Congress, we are going to arrange in this Museum two speclal exhibitions. To the first one, our Crown- Prince has taken the personal initliative, and 1t is fair to say thet 1t will be in all essential features his personal work, as he is working here two to thkree times a week selecting and arranging the materlal. This will be an exhibition of Chinese bronzes, vessels, arms, mirrors, buckles and sundry objects, arranged chronologically in a way, whicéh has hardly been tried before.

ON96 The second exhibition will be tbe first exhibition ever made of the Ordos bronzes, and it is our ambition to try to gather bere practically all that exists of real valusble specimens of the Ordos bronzes. The by far largest collection is undoubtedly in this Museum. By the kind ald of Mr. Loo in PEb&s, a Captain Meyer and others, we hope to get all the main types fully represented in this exhibition. It is exceedingly kind of you to send us those beautiful photographs of your Ordos bronzes. Wost of the types are already wellk” wn to us and represented in our own collection. But there are 19 Spocimene, whlieh offer considerable interest to uf; I will be very glad to get your permission to publish these 19 specimens in a paper in our Bulletin, of whökn I send you under separate cover the four volumes, which have appeared so far. Do vou think it possible to lend us those 19 specimens for our exhibition. If you agree to do that, please send them in the safest possible Way. It 1s quite sufficient > Ed air? danne here in the course of the summer. Please insure them upon our expense to what you consider their full value. It goes without saying that a label attached to every borrowed specimen will tell clearly the name of the owner and in the catalogue there will )e & clear statement of all contributions. The 19 specimens desired are sketched upon paper sheets, which are here enclosed. It is quite right that we have something like 100 so called Nestorian crosses. I have not studied these relatively late objects, and . fear that we have nothing or little of interest to you in this line, but I would be glad to show vou all our Mongollan things when you come here. Wwitn sincerest thanks and kindest regards. Yours very truly
