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end all our other thinge, and has for the time being et least wholly jeepmr- dized these long seventeen yeers of unpublished end for the mest pert unannounced researches end field work.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 . (Hy support from the University ended with les June. 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. The Guggen- heim Foundetion has alresäy written to my references in this country ond it is possible that they have aleo written to you asking you to recommend me end to tell then sbout my work in Chi: have net yet done so they will probably do so in the future . It is likely thet they will eccom; their letter by& long ment of my pest resecrches , my present situation, and my pl for further Fra & FE have hed to EG e hem i mltiple copies us of my requiremen Dn applying Or a fellowship .
