Deer Dr. Andersson, I heve thought sbout you snd ycur et the museum meny , meny time since those 1: sy that I was eo privileged to spend there working t year . I wrote & long letter to you but setuslly I no word from nye one et the museum since I left last Ceto 1st ,1938 . During the coprse of jese months heve mysel? experienced the most distreesing end catackysmic experience of my whole life . The Chine Wer hes eventuelly left me without & home, without my adopted country , witout & job and a salaäry , end completely and sbsolutely separated from all worläly possessions including my immense collection of unique materiel , my librery of ten thousand wolumes end all our other thinge, and has for the time being et least wholly jeepmr- dized these long seventeen yeers of unpublished end for the mest pert unannounced researches end field work. This blow came during the month of BeBruary that time I have been strug- gling in some manner to refashion my life end to cerry on here in Ameri is my full intent and expectation eventuslly to return to Chine but I have no hopes of being able to de so for at least a year or two,or even three or four . Meanwhile I am most, most eanxious to preserve by recording,in so fer as I an able eat this distence from most of my stuff,as much as I can of these long years of fielå work. Towerds this end I have during the pest two weeks epplied for support to tio Americen Fouhdations ; to the Cuggen- heiz Foundstion for & fellowship for next year , 1940-1941 , end to the Carnegie Corporation for support for the present y of 1988-1940 .

You have frequently very generously expressed your willingness to help me in any way thet you could to further ny erchaeological and other studies sand researches. I have thpre- fore mede bold to give your name as & reference to each of the two foundatione to which I am epplying for suport.
