+ FA ER 20 1l1ibraries4 You will see that the people here have been very nice and taken an active interest in supporting our archaeoloci- cal works For the present we are busy with labelling and registering the potterys stones inplements and metal things. I wanteat personally to describe the ceramics, but the stone implerents and the metal objects will be studied and described by other specialists. I have also carefully removed the soil content of the pots and soil samples will be carefully examined microscopically in the hope of finding some remains of grains or other vegetable bstances which were probably kept in these pots. thu : 80 far I have unpacked only about half of the whole material and it will not be possible to handle the rest, before we reach the more spacious future quarters wnich will be ready early in the summer ,. Our årownprince. who ås you knoW,. is a sincere and able student of Far Eastern archaeology, Will start in May on a round the world voyage. He will, accompanied by the Crown- princess, first go to the United Statesa where he will be present at the unveiling of the John Ericsgon monument... This is the official part of his mission,aånmd after that he will go to see those Eastern lands for which he has been 2eeking during many — years. In September he wili be in and about the lst of October the royal couple will reach Peking. The Crownprince h& asked me to meet him there,and I am naturally delighted to offer such humble services as will be within my power. The Crownprince plans" to stay about two months in China, mostly in Peking, when making excursions in different directions, to inner Mongolia ( Hallong, 08830)». to Tatung, to:Honan, Shantung, etc. He will also visit all the scientific institutes in Peking and I feel sure he will be delighted to see the splendid P.U.M.C. and I Am feet convinced that you all will like hima as he is the most charming person and a rarely earnest and thorough student of antigqgulties and art. After the Crownprince has left China for India I hope to be able to go to Japan to study the really rerarkable Neolithic material of that cowtry ( Hubert Schmidt has recently garage oo Pg pr paper proving wonderful relationship of the thic of Japan with that of Europe. Some of his facts are reall . When returning home in February or March in Irkut4k and Krassnojarsk to study the ar- — ehaeological collections kept Ån these places. Part of the scientific work with the Kansu collections will be handed over to European archaeolågilsts, but there is very much for me to do, and the earliest time I can think of starting for Turkestan will be newyear 's time 1928. Dear Doctor Black, do not think that I hesitate for a moment, but I feel very heavily the responsability to watch the important material already in my hands. Possibly you will find yourself in a somewhat

0089 Stockholm March 31st 1926. Doctor Davidson Black, Department of Anatomy, Peking Union Medical College, Peking. <Ohina. Dear Doctor Black, I was delighted to receive the 26th inst. your letter of February 9th which had been evidently long on the way, what is only natural during the present perturbed position of Ohina.. ; I am delighted to learn from your letter that there is good prospect for our joint expedition into Central Asia and that you probably by this time have already gone over the matter in detail with Mr. Embree of the Rockfeller Foundation. It goes without saying that I am only too:an- Xxious to go into Ohinese: Turkestan and stay there for two or three years and I am glad to confirm that my Swedish friends are fully determined to do their very best in backing my efforts. However, I must tell you that I see little chance for a start next January, as the preparations for the scientific study and description of my Kansu collection have taken much more time: than originally expected. After my arrival here it soon became evident that the funds at my disposal for laboratory work and also the laboratory quearters were entirely unsatisfactory and that some more permanent arrangementshad to be made. After months of negotiations I have now arrived at a definite and quite satisfactory result. The Swedish govern- ment has offered me a research position w duties except studying and deseribing the Kansu collections an un- dertaking new journeys in Ohina. I will be entirely free to make any arrangement for scientific cooperation with my Chinese col- leagues and I will be glad to discuss the details of such coope- ration, when I arrive in Peking about the lst of September. I have been given very spacious and comfortable quarters, where I will be safe at least for the next ten years, and a sum of 20,000 crowns has been put at my disposal for buying such literature as is not to be found in the existing scientific

00921 3e similar »os ition, as I think that also the skeleton material in your hands will require Ponsiderable time, before it is fully described. Kindly write me at your earliest convenience to tell what you think about starting in the early part of 1928. Por the rest I hope we will be able to go over the whole auestion in full detall, when we meet in Peking in the early autumn. When looking through my correspondence I notice to my deep regret that I had failed to instruct Doctor Wong about hand ng over to you copies of our joint paper UPreliminary Report on Archaeological Research in Kansu'.. I have now written to him asking him to hand to you such number, as you like to hava I do not Knows whether I have properly thanked you for the copies of your splendid monograph on the human re- mains from Fengtien and Honan. Professor Färst, the retired professor of anatomy in Lundy has written a review of yaor research and I will send you abstract$ of the same ( unfortunately in Swe- dish) as soon as it will be printed. Mrs Andersson Joins me in express ing to Mrs BlacK and yourself our most hearty congratulations for the safe arrival of äve little Miss Black, the young person mentioned in your letter. ; I hope to hear from you about our Central Asia- tic plans and Will be delighted to have personal exchange of vig Fevrs, when I reach Peking by the end of September... Yours very truly,
