Dear Dr, Andersson: Your letter of Jamary 3 last came duly to hand and it deserved — an earlier reply. However, correspondence and routine of all sorts had stood still during my two and a half years! absence in China and I have not yet caught up. For example, some 25,000 arechaeological specimens had arrived from various parts of the world and most of them are stibl waiting to be Classified and catalogued. To cap the climax, the Museum is to be the host to several congresses and scientific meetings this year and therefore it be- comes necessary to concentrate on the revision of some of our exhibits. Con- segquently I have scarcely done anything with the Andrews Expedition collect- ions. The material from Szechuan and Yunnan I have catalogued, but the Mon- golian lot I have not even seen since I packed it up in 1925. I am pleased to learn that you yourself are in satisfactory quarters and in position to put your collections in shape. If I am not compelled to return to China next year we have in mind to visit Europe and shall be delighted to call at Stockholm. Mr, Granger and others departed for China last March, but I declined to go, on several grounds. The opportunity for moving about freely did not look promising - even in regard to entering Mongolia. It now seems the Expedition & did get off, but the rumors are that they could not go due west from Shara Marun on account of sand and had to return to that place. Perhaps the country is open toward the north and northeast but the archaeological prospects are not partic- ularly promising in those directions and I am glad I remained at home. But what- ever success Mr. Andrews may have, it seems by no means certain that the Chinese ä& Government will allow him to ship his collections out of the country. If that should happen, or if the Chinese impose corlitions similar to those which rumor had it were accepted by Sven Hedin, then doubtless that will be the Bnd of the Andrews Expedition. I am wondering a little about Hedin. Dr. Anteus (a collaborator of Baron de Geer on glacial varves) was here some three months ago and told us that Hedin had placed his whole project in charge of the Chinese members of his party. Later we read in the paper that Hedin had turned up in Moscow and Berlin; but I don! t know what it all means. Me have seen quite a mumber of people from China since our return. In addition to people unknown to you, Dr. Black was in the Museum twice, I am told, last fall, but he did not call at my office. Dr. Li Cni of Tsing Hua college was here for several days early this month and is seemingly on his way around the world looking over museums, etc. Finally, Dr. Stevenson and family were

OK, here a few days ago, on their way back to Peking. Perhaps I ought to tell you that your letter written last winter to ihe Museum authorities, in your capacity as a Corresponding Member, was read aloud at our staff meeting and that it made a very good impression. We promptly voted to contime your membership for another term of years. Well, I have already trespassed on your time and will close, with kindest regarås from Mrs. Nelson and myself to you both. Sincerely yours, 2 Dr. J. G. Andersson, S . Kungl. Vitterhets Historie och Antikvitets Akademien, Stockholm, Sweden. P.S. Meny thanks for the pamphlet"Ostasiatiska Semlingarnas Nyforvarv 1926-1927, '! Somebody walked into the Museum the other day and handed us two camels similar to your cover illustration.
