0081, Östasiatiska Samlingarna, Sveavägen 65, Stockholm January 31,1928 Baron ER. von Campenhausen, Hamburger Strasse 3, Mezapark, Riga, Lettland. Dear Baron von Campenhausen, Will you kindly allow me to address you in English which is much more convenient for me, and certainly just as easily understood by you as German. Dr. Arne has forwerded to me your letter of January 1l5th concerning the offer of the archeological collection made by Professor Minzloff in Uranchal in northern Mongolia. Dr. Arnels reason for forwarding the let- ter to me is that we have formed a new museum department, The East Asiatic Colleetions,/in Swedish Östasiatiska Samlingarna/, which has been organized to comprise the whole of eastern Asia. i I now want to tell you that we are very much interested in the offer which you have made to us. But you will realize that the list which you have forwarded to us is by no means sufficient in order to form an opinion about the collection. The least we must ask you, before being able to express any opinicn about the collection, is to have a complete set of good photographs of all the objects. i However, I feel that it would be much more effective to have the whole collection sent over here to Stockholm for inspection, in which case I would suggest that the last section marked "Versciedenes" in the list, should be omitted, as there are very few tnings in that section that could offer any interest to us. Will you kindly inform me about the approx- imate price of the whole collection and eventually of the collection,
