03364 Primrose 3819. 56, Avenue Road, Regents Park, N:W. October l6th, 1933. Dear Professor Anderson, I am indebted to you for two letters and thank you for the pleasure of them. Also I noticed when I came in that there was a box from Sweden, which I expect contains my bronzes; I will open the box and verify the contents before sending this letter off. Thank you for so kindly sending them back to me. I am sure you must have needed your rest as the tremendous work you had in hand during the Conference must have fatigued you greatly. It was &he most perfectly organised Exhibition I have ever seen and in saylng this I am voicing the general opinion. I am glad you were pleased with the follio volume of the Chinese bronzes and will make a point of sending you others when I am able to doso. SSE I hag a letter from H.R.H. The Crown Prince a short time ago in regard to my taking a share in Mr. K's exped tion in search of treasures, and have been waiting to see how financial matters were before answering as to whether I shall be able to take a part in this or not. At present it looks very much as if I shall not be able to do so. My income is derived from the U.S.A., and as you know things have been very much upside down over there the past two months and not only has ny income been exceedingly reduced, but the present uncertainty makes it impossible for me to take on any new obligations until matters are more settled. If I am not able to do anything this year, will you tell H.R.H. The Crown Prince that unless the whole world goes smash within the next year, that I stra ll be glad to do do at another time. Tv would make a sacrifice at the present to take part in this expedition, but have so many obligations that must come first that I can see no way öut of it for the moment. Somehow I feel order is bound to come out of our world chaos, but it must come släwly; when it does come I may be able to help the Swedish Museum and I have a desire so to do. The disposition I shall make of my collection, of which I spoke to you in Stockholm, is being arranged. I am looking forward with much pleasure to your visit and extend to do you a very warm welcome to be my guest for the length
