My dear Dr, Andersson: Not having heard from you for a long time, I am wondering how you FS are progressing with the preparation and study of your archaeological mater- ial from China. Speakirg for myself, I finally got to work last March on the class- ification and cataloguing of my Mongolia material and another two weeks will see that task finished. But, in the meantime, the 1928 Expedition resulted äg. in an additional collection from the general region of Iren Dabasu, i.e., from a point farther east than my own. The raw material used here is differ- ent from mine, but the industry itself is at least in part about the same - a fully developed and somewhat richer Neolithic. This will be, I presume, the last contribution of the Andrews Expedition, and another two or three months will see me ready to start a Final Report on the results. I have mentioned these details about the unfinished state of my work by way of explanation why I have decided not to come to Stockholm this summer. Another reason is that I have to come to Hamburg to an International Congress next summer and I cannot well afford to come to Europ&€ two years in succession. However, if you are in Stockholm next summer I should like to come and see what you have. Also I am very desirous of seeing the collection from eastern Siberia of which you spoke. My prophecy to you in my last letter about the Central Asiatic Ex- pedition has come very nearly true. They may be able to run up for a few weeks yet this season; but I suspect Andrews has come to the end of his rope. The SR conditions laid down by the Commission for the "Preservation of Chinese Culture!" are impossible. Odåly enough, some three weeks ago I saw your book "The Dragon and the Foreign Devils" for the first time. Mrs. N. and I have just finished read- ing it with a good deal of both pleasure and profit. You have dealt sanely and fairly by the Chinese and, I take it, ought to have no difficulty yourself in obtaining permission for future field studies in their domain. Incidentally, I wonder if you are aware that some of your Kansu pot- tery turned over to the Survey is being sold at exorbitant prices by a Japanese dealer in this city? . Another dealer here claims to have been offered a second lot of vessels - also from Kansu - by someone in Peking for the sum of $1700 gold. Trusting this finds you and Madame Andersson well, I am Sincerely yours, FEET IL P.S. We have pleasant remembrances of Baron (or Professor) Noråenskiold from Göteborg, who came here last September to attend the International Congress of Americanists, of which I was the unfortunate Secretary. It is this same Congress that goes to Hamburg next year.
