先生致信王云五，仍请商务印书馆担任德国印刷展览会在沪主办人，并与青年会接洽现场事宜。
岫庐先生大鉴：
接奉十二月廿九日大函，敬承种切。德国印刷展览会事允为襄助，至感至感。担任主人名义一节，仍归敝馆原无不可，惟敝馆远在北平，似不如当地机关出名较为易于号召，且事关宣扬印刷，在沪举行自以贵馆最为适宜。本日在京开会，系用中央大学图书馆与中德文化协会并名寄发请柬，亦其一例也。可否仍由贵馆出名，必不得已加入敝馆，未识尊意以为如何？前致八仙桥青年会函，适未接到，未悉何故。兹另补寄彼处快函一件，仍希便中接洽为荷。中德文化协会在沪主持之人拟托德人Wilhelm先生办理（另寄介绍片，由渠面陈）。所有陈列之书，由敝馆陈君贯吾携沪协同照料。统此附闻，专肃，顺候台祺。
弟袁制同礼拜启

Dear Sir:
In response to your letter of November 18, we take pleasure in sending you herewith a copy of “Origin and progress of the Division of Aeronautics, Library of Congress”, reprinted from the Annual Report of the Librarian of Congress for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1930. We have also sent to your Library（through the International Exchange Service of the Smithsonian Institution）a copy of the 1932 Report, and are placing the name of the National Library of Peiping on our regular Report mailing list. The 1933 issue will be sent when it becomes available,-presumably about the middle of the time month.
According to a report from the Chief of our Division of Aeronautics, a new edition of the “Bibliography on Skin Friction and Boundary Flow”, which you requested, is now in preparation. A copy will be sent to your Library from the Division of Aeronautics within a few weeks.
The third item requested in your letter-Aeronautic uses of Radio-we understand was published in Mendel Bulletin（Villanova College）Villanova, Pennsylvania, 1931, volume 3, pages 13-14. Possibly you will wish to apply to that institution for a copy.
Very truly yours,
Secretary

January 8, 1934
Dear Mr. Yuan；
I learn from Mr. Goodrich of our Chinese Department that you are planning to come to the United States next spring. This is very nice news; I can assure you of a warm welcome at the University and especially in the School of Library Service. We shall want you to talk to the students at some Wednesday morning assembly on a topic of your own choosing, but I would suggest that it have to do with the present status of the library development in China.
Mr. Goodrich and I are agreed that we want you to give a public lecture at the University on some suitable subject and we suggest that you take for your subject the development of the Chinese book from the beginning to the present time. This will not only be of great interest to the general public but of special interest to the students in the School of Library Service.
Mr. Goodrich has no funds in his department to pay fees to outside lecturers. In the Library School we have also very little money for this purpose, but we can offer you a modest fee which will at least pay taxi fares! I know without even consulting Miss Sanderson and other colleagues that we shall want to offer you little hospitalities of various kinds. Consequently, I trust your stay in New York will not be too limited and that you will keep open a few dates which we can claim for luncheon or dinner and afternoon tea in East Hall.
I shall be glad to know as soon as convenient what your schedule is likely to be so that we can suggest definite dates for these various functions.
Cordially yours,
Dean

Dear Dr. Williamson:
Just a few days before leaving Peiping, I received your good letter of Jan 8th. It is most kind of you to ask me to give talks at the School and at the University and I shall be most delighted to do so as you suggested.
I shall be in New York on Monday, the 26th, and shall call on you in the afternoon, but have to leave for Havana Wednesday morning. I shall be back after April 10th, so any date between April 20th and 30th would suit me admirably.
I am most happy to be back at my alma mater and able to see my old teachers and friends. I only regret that my stay in New York is too limited to enable me to attend some classes at the School which you so ably direct.
With kindest regards,
Yours sincerely,

B. A. Claytor致函先生，略述国会图书馆馆藏中文图书主题目录编制的现状和困难。
April 2, 1934
Dear Mr. Yuan:
During our conversation today the question of a subject catalogue for the Chinese books was touched upon. The importance of such a catalogue, without further discussion on that point, is well known to you.
The lack of funds to employ the necessary help for preparing the cards desired is the principal reason that such a catalogue has not been made are this.
In order to make a complete subject catalogue it will be necessary:
1.To write from 1 to 6 additional cards for the 52,000 or more titles in the present title catalogue（38,000 ts'ung shu; 14,000 independent works）.
2.To re-classify, perhaps, the whole collection, adopting the system now in use at Harvard or by revising our own system so that it will be more elastic.
3.To employ an additional assistant who will devote his whole time to rewriting and classifying subject headings.
I am sure that Dr. Hummel will be grateful to you for any suggestions as to ways and means of meeting this problem. Of course, all matters relating to the Library of Congress must be approved by the Librarian.

Since my graduation at Columbia in 1922, I have been following with interest and admiration the remarkable development of this great institution of learning which has been made possible through your great personality and under your distinguished direction. Your achievement at Columbia has been the inspiration of my work in China during these years.

The League of Nations has been collaborating with China in giving China technical assistance and I hope to be able to arrange to have libraries included in the program. I have had a talk with M.

Dear Mr. Huang:
I am glad to learn from Mr. Chiu that you are able to take a trip to America this Fall, and to work in the Chinese Library at Harvard University. Mr. Chiu will, undoubtedly, write to you about the exact date on which you are expected to begin work at Harvard, but I hope that you will plan your trip in such a way that you will be able to visit a number of libraries on your way to Cambridge. You may consult with Mr. F. F. Lee of the Division of Accessions of the National Library at Peiping, who is coming to America on a Rockefeller Foundation fellowship. He will visit a number of libraries along the Pacific Coast and in the Mid-West. I am sure that if you can take the trip together you will be able to visit a number of libraries on your way to Cambridge.
As you will note, librarianship is not classified in the class of professors. Therefore, unless you have an official student passport you will have a great deal of trouble with the Immigration officials in this country. I would urge you to ask the President of the University of Shantung to apply for an official student passport for you from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Ministry of Education. Please show this letter to President Chao, who is a close friend of mine. I am sure he will help you out in getting this official passport.
I hope very much that you will find your trip interesting and profitable.
Yours very sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

Care The Library of Congress,
Washington, D. C.,
May 22, 1934
Dear Mr. Chiu:
I am enclosing copy of a letter which I am sending to Mr. Huang at the University of Shantung. If you can, you may send him a list of the libraries which he should visit on his way to Cambridge. You should also tell him that he should plan to leave earlier in order to give more time to the visiting of libraries. I am hoping that after a few years'service at Harvard, he might be given an opportunity to visit libraries in Europe, so it is not likely that he will ever go back to China by way of the Pacific.
I remember that I told you when I was in Cambridge that I was planning to have Mr. C. P. Wang, who is now working in the Chinese Library at Columbia, join the Library of Congress in the Fall. As Mr. Hummel will not be back until June 22nd, the matter is now in the state of suspense. Mr. Wang will be leaving Columbia by June 30th. I have been wondering whether the Chinese-Japanese Library at Harvard could make use of him for two months, from July 1st to August 31st. If you could help him out, he will be greatly benefited by his experience at the Chinese-Japanese Library at Harvard. I think very likely Mr. Hummel will invite him to the Library of Congress in assisting the cataloging of the Chinese collection here. I shall be very much obliged if you could do something for Mr. Wang. Let me know your decision as soon as possible.
Yours very sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

In response to your letter of May 22nd I want to extend our hearty thanks to you for the excellent arrangement you made for Hr. H. H. Huang to come to work here next year. I shall report your kind cooperation to Professor R. P. Blake, Director of University Libraries.
With regard to Mr. Wang, I am very sorry to inform you that we could not possibly take on another assistant this summer being strictly limited by our small budget. As you know, we already have Mr. Andrew Ko and Mr. Chaoying Fang working here. I have also arranged several months ago for Mr. Hanyee Feng to work for our Library during the summer, especially to finish some job he started last year. You will surely see the difficulty and unfairness in laying off our old associates who have done good work（Mr. Hanyee Feng worked here for two years）in order to admit entirely new persons. I sincerely hope that you will explain my difficulties to Mr. Wang, so that he may not take our inability to invite him as any reflection on his ability.
I understand that both University of California and Stanford University have substantial Chinese collections to be catalogued. Could you try to arrange something for Mr. Wang in either one of these libraries? Dr. Hummel, who will be director of the Summer Seminar on Far Eastern Studies at the University of California this summer, knows the opening at Berkeley. I am sure that he will be glad to assist Mr. Wang in as much as he is going to invite him to the Library of Congress this fall.Dr. Hummel can be reached through Mr. Graves of the American Council of Learned Societies.

Dear Miss Gaskill:
Since meeting you in Philadelphia early in April, I have been travelling around visiting libraries and scientific institutions. This explains why I have not been able to write to you earlier.
I am exceedingly sorry that I shall not be able to pay you a visit in Ithaca this trip.
While in New York I asked the China Institute to arrange an exhibition of the Reproductions of Chinese Paintings from the collection in the Palace Museum, which I brought over. I understand from Mr. Chao-Mei-po, that the exhibition was appreciated by visitors interested in Chinese art. I hope also you are getting along very nicely with your Chinese Collection.
As Mr. C. P. Wang, who is now working in the Chinese Library at Columbia, will complete his work at Columbia on June 30th, I have been wondering whether your Library would like to make use of his services for a month or two, from July 1st. I am arranging with Mr. Hummel to have Mr. Wang spend some time in the Library of Congress, beginning in September. Mr. Wang will be free during the months of July and August, and I hope very much that he will be able to help a little towards strengthening your Chinese Collection, if your budget allows.
I hope you have already received from Peiping the Quarterly Bulletin of Chinese Bibliography. I trust that through the medium of this publication you will be kept informed about the current publications in China.
As I am leaving Washington on Thursday, please write to me c/o The China Institute, 119 W. 57th St., New York City.

加斯基尔覆函先生，告知无法在暑假期间聘请汪长炳前往康乃尔大学图书馆服务。
June 2, 1934
Dear Mr. Yuan,
It was a pleasure to hear from you, but I am sorry that you cannot come to Ithaca this year. I understand, though, how much you must have to do during your short visit in this country. I hope that some of these times I shall get to Peking again and be able to work for some months at least there, making use of your splendid library, but I do not know now when that will be.
The reproductions of paintings you had sent here were much appreciated, when first exhibited at the Cosmopolitan Club and then at the week's exhibit at the University Art Gallery. It was very good to have them here.
Mr. Wang was here helping me last summer, as you know, for a short time-rather shorter than I should have liked to have him-and I should like to have him again this summer for a while but it is, I am sorry to say, impossible. I am going to be away myself from the middle of August, attending the Seminar in Far Eastern studies at the University of California, in preparation for teaching a course in Chinese history here this coming year, and so having anyone to help with the Wason Collection during that period is out of the question. Knowing that Mr. Wang's interests are rather in general library work anyway I spoke to Dr. Kinkeldey, the librarian, about the possibility of there being some other work in the library he might do, but Dr. Kinkeldey says that the library funds are so cut down this year that there just isn't any possibility of having any extra help. I am sorry it is so, and I hope that Mr. Wang will find some other very pleasant way of spending the two months before he goes to Washington.
We have received the Quarterly Bulletin of Chinese Bibliography and are very glad indeed to have it.
With best wishes to you in all your journeying, I remain

Just a note to wish you well as you leave our shore line. It was a great pleasure to have you here.
I shall expect to hear from you in case the visits of our librarians are not provided for through other channels. In case you have not determined upon the routine, it may be useful to consider an invitation from your library by way of the American Council of Learned Societies both for future relations and for encouragement of the L. of C. project. But this is not to be considered if you have now made a beginning with the A. L. A. as a channel. A fairly prompt announcement might be helpful too.

c/o Chinese Legation
Berlin, Aug. 3rd
Dear Prof. Pelliot:
I hope you have moved into your new residence, and I am looking forward to seeing you again early in October when I return.
I am much obliged to you for having arranged an exchange of librarians between the two national libraries, and I am sure it will prove profitable to both parties. I enclose a letter to Mlle. Dolléans and shall be obliged to you if you will kindly forward for me. I sincerely hope that she will feel at home at Peiping.
As to her salary $4000.00 mex a year, it will be paid out of the grant from Sino-French Commission. I would suggest that the Foreign Office in Paris should write to the French Legation asking to set the money aside for Mlle. Dolléans, or pay it to our library which will hand to her each month.
Wishing you a pleasant summer and with kindest regards,
Yours sincerely,

Chinese Legation,
Berlin,
August 25, 1934
Dear Mr. Hummel:
I think I wrote you once about the exchange of books between the National Library and the Library of Congress. I am now enclosing herewith an agreement which I concluded with Dr. Jürgens. It seems desirable that we may use it as a basis for our closer cooperation.
The National Library in all fields is interested in scientific periodicals and books representative of British and American scholarship. You have in the Library of Congress a large collection of duplicates which are available for exchange. As you were away when I was in Washington, I did not try to examine the duplicates, but if you think the Library of Congress would agree to enter into exchange relations with our Library, it may not be very difficult for you and your colleagues to assist us in the selection of titles.
Among your Russian duplicates, there were many things which we would like to have. Miss Liu will be able to assist in the selection.
I shall hope to hear from you after you have consultations with Dr. Putnam and Mr. Blanchard.
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan
P. S. I shall be back in London after Sept. 20th. Please address me care of our Legation in London.

The Central Hotel,
Glasgow.
Sept. 25, 1934
Dear Dr. Bishop:
I must apologize for having delayed in writing to you. Since coming over to Europe, I have been kept busy with my visits to libraries and museums, and I have just returned from a strenuous journey in Soviet Russia. During my tour on the Continent, I have met many librarians who know you personally as well as your achievements in library service.
I am very much delighted to find that you and Dr. Keogh, in spite of your many duties, are both favorably inclined towards taking a trip to China next year. Nothing would give us greater pleasure than welcoming you and Dr. Keogh. As soon as I return to China in December, I shall arrange to send you an official invitation.
Dr. Stevens of the Rockefeller Foundation wrote me some time ago that the Foundation would be glad to finance your trip to China. President Keppel is also interested in your forthcoming visit, and I have no doubt that the Carnegie Endowment is keenly interested in the promotion of cultural relations between China and the United States.
I am anxious to enlist the interest of these foundations towards cultural cooperation with China and I have not the least doubt that through your and Dr. Keogh's visit, the relations between the two countries will be made closer.
I attended the 16th session of the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation at Geneva. I had the intention of asking the Paris Institute to extend you the invitation as a part of the League's technical collaboration with China. But as you will learn from Professor Shotwell, there seemed to have existed some anti-American feeling. This is at least the impression which Prof. Shotwell and I had at Geneva. The Paris Institute desires to take every activity in its own hands, incompetent as it is.
The Chinese Government, on the other hand, has placed a great deal of confidence in the League, and has entrusted to the League many things which it has not proved competent to deal with in a satisfactory manner. But our Government's attitude is “First come, first served”. As far as I can observe, unless the United States takes greater interest in closer cultural cooperation with China, the American prestige will be lost-at least temporarily. Many Chinese professors now travelling in Europe have expressed to me the same viewpoint.
Although you will be invited by the National Library Association of China, I hope your field of inquiry will be made broader than libraries proper. I am quite confident that you and Dr. Keogh will carry out this mission most admirably.
As the International Library Congress which you will preside will be held in May, you may arrange your visit in the Spring. If you cannot afford three months, two months will be required. I shall send you a tentative itinerary for you and Dr. Keogh, as soon as I learn your plans. When you meet Dr. Keogh, will you kindly show him this letter, so I hope I may be excused for not writing him a similar one.
I shall be in Rome after the Museum Conference at Madrid and shall stay until November 9th, when I sail for China. You may reach me care of the Chinese Legation in Madrid and/or in Rome.
With kindest regards to you and to Dr. Keogh.
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan
Will you and Dr. Keogh send me a copy of your recent photograph?

October 8, 1934
My dear Dr. Yuan:
Your letter of September 25th from Glasgow has just reached me, and has naturally interested me very much indeed.
I saw Dr. Keogh in New York a few days ago. We talked about the possibility of an invitation to go to China on a library mission, but of course, in the absence of anything more definite than has come to us up to that time, neither of us felt that we could make any plans involving long absences from our libraries.
Your letter raises quite sharply the question of leave of absence and the proper time for such a journey. I must say to you quite frankly that there seem to be difficulties of a rather serious nature in arranging for a leave of absence in the spring of 1935. It is entirely probable that the budget of this Library for the subsequent year will have to be determined somewhat hastily after the adjournment of the Legislature of Michigan. The Legislature meets in January, and ordinarily adjourns before the first of May. The last two, however, have held on for a longer time and in 1933 the Legislature did not adjourn until mid-June. The University's appropriation was passed on the last day of the Session. This necessarily requires repaid work in submitting estimates and in making adjustments in the light of the income for the Library for the next year. These circumstances would not necessarily prevent me from asking for a leave of absence in the spring of 1935, but I confess that I should hesitate to do so. It would probably be easier for me to get away from Ann Arbor in the autumn of that year.
I am sending a copy of your letter to Dr. Keogh at New Haven. If I recall his conversation with me correctly, he too would probably find it easier to be away in the autumn of 1935 than in the spring of that year.
I am answering your letter immediately without taking an opportunity to consult to the President of the University. When I talked to him last spring he was favorably inclined toward the suggestion that I should go to China at your invitation. Of course I cannot say whether his attitude and that of the Board of Regents of the University will result in an approval of a request for a leave of absence. You must, therefore, take this letter merely as an acknowledgement of your kind favor and as an expression of my sincere appreciation, and not as a definite promise to accept it. That will have to be determined a little later by the course of events. However, I assure you that I am sincerely interested in coming to China if it can be arranged without detriment to my work here.
Faithfully yours,
Librarian

Dear Dr. Stevens,
I must apologize for having delayed in writing to you. Since leaving the States in June, I have been travelling in western and central Europe. Although the tour has been most interesting and profitable, yet it has been rather strenuous owing to the pressure of time. The fatigue and daily travel explain why I have not written to you earlier.
In spite of very long silence, I have frequently had occasion to recall our pleasant meeting in New York. It was a great privilege to me to have made your acquaintance. I am very much gratified to find that you are taking such a keen interest in China and her cultural development. I do want to thank you once more for the most cordial and charming way in which you and your colleagues received me while in New York. I only hope that you will keep up your promise of visiting China soon. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than welcoming you in Peiping.
I am particularly obliged to you for your interest in the training of Chinese librarians, as these men will immediately be given with responsible posts after their return. I trust that Mr. F. F. Li has called upon you upon his arrival. I expect a great deal from him, although, as I have told you, he does not look attractive!
There is an urgent need for China in the training of museum workers especially when we are to reorganize our national museums on a scientific basis. If it would be possible for the Foundation to consider this point, it will be rendering an important service to our country.
I appreciate very much the letter you so kindly sent to me to the steamer. I have recently written to Dr. Bishop and Dr. Keogh about your interest in their forthcoming visit. I do hope they will plan an early trip to China. I shall send them an official invitation from our Library Association as soon as I return to China.
I am here attending the International Museum Conference which has been postponed until next Sunday on account of the disturbances in Spain. I am sailing Nov. 10th and shall arrive Shanghai Dec. 3.
With renewed thanks and with kindest regards,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

Whenever you have time, I shall be obliged to you if we will send us the reprints of your articles. I assure you that they will be cordially received.
With best thanks and kindest regards.
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

Dear Mr. Yuan:-
I received your letter of Oct. 23rd written from Madrid-also your letter of a previous date suggesting formal exchange relations between the National Library and the Library of Congress. I showed to Dr. Putnam and to Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Childs the formal agreement which you drew up in Berlin. They had no specific suggestions to make, but I have verbal assurances that I can proceed informally, exchanging our government documents and duplicates for your Chinese material. Thank you for your list of desiderata of “Papers Relating to Foreign Relations of the U. S.”. I shall set to work at once to see that you get them, if they are to be had at all. I can secure practically any documents you want, if they are still in print. In a few days Mr. Wong and I will also look over our duplicated books（together with Mr. Childs）and pick out what scientific books we think you may want. Mr. Childs, Chief of the Documents Division, is much interested in promoting the exchange, and you can also write to him directly if you wish. Mr. Blanchard is so busy with other things that the matter of exchange is likely to be more easily handled by the Division of Documents.
If the Rockefeller Foundation is interested in assisting your bibliographical needs, no one would be happier than I, for I believe entirely in the worth of such work at this time. I agree with you that Chinese students in the West, and in Europe particularly, are lamentably lacking in a knowledge of recent achievements in Chinese studies, and anything that will remedy that is to be encouraged. So please feel free to use my name as a reference with the Foundation for any work along this line. You can count absolutely on my encouragement of your proposals. It is true that our Foundations feel the need of going more and more into this type of work, and I think now is an opportune time for you to approach them. Write to them directly, using my name as are with whom they may consult with if they are interested. That is better than if I approached them first.
Mr. C. P. Wong is doing good work in the reorganization of our classification system. I could find his salary（$150.00 per month）only by taking it out of our fund for biographical work. We had on this year's appropriations $900 extra allotted for secretarial work, and I used this to engage Mr. Wong for six months. If our project for writing Ch'ing dynasty biographies is renewed for another year, and if we have a few hundred dollars of extra money which can be used for Mr. Wong, I hope we can keep him for nine months or a full year. If such money is not forthcoming, I can do nothing else but let Mr. Wong go at the end of February, much as I should dislike to do that.
Please let me know your exchange needs as soon as you can, I shall do everything in my power to see that you have them filled. Please give my regards to Miss Han and to President and Mrs. Mei when you see them.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur W. Hummel
Chief, Division of Orientalia

十一月上旬 罗马
先生抄录梵蒂冈教皇图书馆所藏中文古籍、手稿目录，并向Giovanni Vacca、梵蒂冈教皇博物馆询问《本草品汇精要》何以流传至此，但均以年代久远不可考答之。〔《图书季刊》第3卷第4期，1936年12月，页231〕
《大公报·图书副刊》第162期，1936年12月24日。
按：归国后，先生曾将此目寄送在欧洲访书的王重民，后者于1936年10月1日至10月16在罗马访书。
Giovanni Vacca（1872-1953），意大利数学家、汉学家，中文通译作华嘉。20世纪40至50年代，Giuliano Bertuccioli（1923-2001），专门撰写论文证明该抄本于19世纪传入梵蒂冈，1946年、1954年先生曾与其讨论此问题。
十一月十二日 地中海—埃及
先生致信王重民，建议其学习欧洲语言、编法国出版东方学书刊简目。
有三吾弟：
在罗马时奉到三日来书，详悉种种，内中述及留学计划，尤佩卓见。惟鄙意法文极不易学，亟应用全副精神先在最短期内将其学好，能懂能说能写缺一不可。至关于东方学书目极不易作，必须先懂拉丁文及德、俄、意、西班牙诸文，因天主教士之书札及报告多用此种文字为之。李小缘君编此书目已有十年，尚未完成，明年拟设法使之至国外考察，顺便完成轻而易举，吾人不必作重复工作也。
兹有一事，在法时可编成之，即将1934及1935法国出版之东方学书籍及论文编一简目，愈完备愈好。可先查此二年之《通报》及Journal Asiatique、《东方美术杂志》安南远东学院院刊、《里昂大学杂志》之书报介绍等等，并请他同学随见随告且常至书店访求，将来可在国内发表，以后再作1933及1932者，如此逐年进行，轻而易举且可多得经验也。
今晚抵埃及，余俟续告。顺颂大安。
同礼顿首
十一月十二
外二片请分转林君及于君。

December 19, 1934
My dear Dr. Yuan:
We have just received the remarkable plaque with the four characters-Yü Hai Chu Yüan-inscribed by ex-President Hsü Shih-ch'ang.
We recognize, of course, the appropriateness for a library of the legend which identifies it as “a repository of precious things”, and we realize that as an inscription it constitutes a remarkable example of the most expert and distinguished calligraphy.
We are therefore greatly impressed with the generous thought that has induced the execution of the plaque and confers upon the National Library of the United States the privilege of possessing it. May we hope that our appreciations will reach Dr. Hsü Shih-ch'ang, as well as, of course, the proponents and intermediaries in the matter, especially yourself, to whose good offices we are so indebted.
With all good wishes,
Faithfully yours,
Chief Librarian
