程绥楚函覆函先生，请写推荐信与费知乐，为其谋取澳大利亚国立大学研究职位。
守和先生、夫人尊鉴：
前收到嘱寄各件，当日即照办。北京圕馆一函则添了一香港地名，以免麻烦。费知乐先生见过，后又在英文化会听他讲演，已于年终卅日去澳。买书工作，由此间蔚林公司代办，贵不可言。他说东方学院刚有一点点开始，要待他去澳后始知如何组织，此公对中国学问进度不太深，不及西门远甚。尊示所云甚是，但其购书工作，当时似另有经纪包围，晚不便多参加。澳洲大学（Prof. C. P. Fitzgerald, The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia）之东方学院将来不招学生，只作研究，校长为前澳驻华大使（尊处可能有此人名字）。关于用人，照他说到澳后才开始组织，故在港无法答应，这一点是事实，费为长者，一望便知。晚送他一本此间新出之《神武天皇新考》，要约他吃饭因时间不定而未果。现在看情形他一定要用晚这类研究员帮忙，但一时晚亦无法表现区区所知，和他谈了一小时余，后来在文化会与他只寒暄了几句，告诉了他一声，如果要用袁先生正式向澳大校长介绍或详细推荐，我可以再寄信请在美国的袁先生写。他已知绥为寅恪先生的学生，晚曾从刘文典师习《庄子》、《文选》及晚唐温李诗（当时约四十余人，晚以史系选习，分数最高），去南开是寅恪先生派助教来问的，时在《北方日报》主社评，南开教中国近代史、民国外交史及西洋通史（此科冯柳漪先生考虑狠久，结果许晚教文学院，另一杨先生燕大留美者教法学院，成绩则晚较杨受欢迎，澄弟曾习过），晚意仍恳劳神赐一函与其校长，详为介绍，另请附一函与Fitz.先生，其校长函亦可请费代为面交，只求能去安心研究几年，照情形看，对费先生是有帮助的。此间彼所见者（或者马鉴等另有介绍，则不得而知），恐不一定内行，港大中文系便等于虚设也。费近日已到澳（可能航空去，书另交运输公司），尊函能直接寄澳更好。Newsdom即《新闻天地》英文板，只能自第九期起，前者已无存，平寄不要邮费，不知已收到否？订单存此备查询，自No. 9-No. 12作一次寄。冬来望多多珍重，至念至念。余续上，敬请双安，弟妹均此问好。

Dear Mr. Yuan:
Your letter of December 19 concerning the possibility of procuring Chinese publications from Canton deserves immediate action, and without waiting further I enclose a check for $100.00 in the hope that you can use it to begin a flow of current materials from the Canton area and the back files of appropriate publications. Naturally this must be a bit experimental. We will try to make desires more specific when we know more of the possibilities and also as our efforts here to develop a project for translation develop.
I look forward to seeing you about the middle of January in Washington to further about this.
We will eventually meet the problem of bringing these materials into the Harvard collection in such a way as not to create overhead and unbalance in the collection. But I think we should probably begin as though this were a special project on an emergency basis. The object of your agent in Canton should be to get materials which are of interest concerning the current situation and the recent past. You can suggest the type of thing we need quite as well as any of us could. We would be interested in all aspects and in ephemeral publications, posters and the like, quite as much as in regular periodicals. On the other hand, we want to avoid mere junk which is repetitious and duplicative. I suppose this is a utopian concept and will therefore leave it in your hands at your discretion.
Our next move should be to work out a more effective plan for the flow of these publications so as to get it regularly financed.
I am looking forward to seeing you.
With best regards,
John K. Fairbank

Dr. Agnes M. Pearce, Secretary
China Medical Board
New York 22, N. Y.
Dear Dr. Pearce:
As I am engaged in compiling a scientific bibliography of China, I am in need of a list of scientific staff of the Peking Union Medical College at the present time. If your office happens to have such a list, may I borrow it for a few days?
If you have any information from Dr. Lee, perhaps you will let me know. Dr. Lee is an old friend of mine and I have great admiration for his ability to handle situations in times of emergency.
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

费慰梅致函先生，请先生为《远东季刊》撰写有关在美中国学者的信息类短文。
Jan. 22, 51
Dear Dr. Yuan：
John tells me that you would be willing to furnish me with a list of Chinese scholars in America for the next issue of the Far Eastern Quarterly with their present positions and addresses. I should certainly much appreciate having such a list for the “News of the Profession” and am sure that it would interest our readers.
The copy for the May issue has just gone to press, unfortunately-for I should like to have had it for this issue. The next is the August 1951 issue for which the deadline for my receiving material is April 10th. I realize that it may be more difficult for you to provide current addresses for persons in a summer issue when people are eager to be changing jobs. But I hope you will consent to undertake it.
You will understand that the Chinese scholars of greatest interest to Far Eastern Associations members and FEQ readers are those who are specialists or some experts of Far Eastern affairs & cultures（rather than natural scientists, etc.）.
I was glad to find news of you from China. My kind regards to your family too.
Sincerely yours,
Wilma Fairbank
Of course, I always want news of special researches going forward here or in China.

程绥楚致函先生，告知陈寅恪嘱寄《元白诗笺证稿》，并请先生鼎力支持其赴澳大利亚谋教职。
守和先生、夫人双前：
前寄一书报告费知乐先生去澳，计已先此达览。昨接寅恪师函云，寄来一本《元白诗笺证稿》，嘱即速寄上，但已数日未见到，正写信去问，岭大财产近因故被封，此书亦在内，将来解冻再□寄，先将手边一本寄来，其意似要此本速到先生手中也，俟到即为寄上不误。香港同美禁运，各货涨价至一二倍到十倍不等，如一旦有事，教员阶级便要饿毙，故去澳之意极殷，仍有待鼎力，直函与费知乐先生一商。晚已另写好一英文函并一诗笺及寅恪师前为绥签好之To whom it may concern一件，证明所习过之国史及国学科目。拟明日直航寄坎培拉，现在可不问报酬，因家慈在长沙，每月只要七八十元港币生活费，合澳币才十五元也。澄弟有函嘱转寄天津信，已代办不误，恐已放寒假，故先不写信寄Colgate。昨吟就一诗，寄怀尊驾，先书此，容日另用好纸寄，尚祈正韵是祷。余再上，敬叩年禧。弟妹仝此问好。

Dear Dr. Yuan:
In answer to your inquiry of January 5, I am sending to you under separate cover a lot of seven directories of Chinese students in the U. S. A. from 1934 to 1943 which belong to the Library, and also a folder of Tsinghua, Yenching, and Nankai alumni in the U. S. A. which belongs to me personally.
As no doubt you have access to the Directories of Chinese students in America published by the China Institute, we are not sending those to you.
As to the microfilm camera which belongs to your Library, please take it away at your earliest convenience.（I can send it to you charges collect by the Railway Express.）Since your Library still has many rare books deposited in the Library of Congress, you can surely also deposit the camera over there too.
After the camera leaves Cambridge, I shall write to Mr. Koo, telling him that in the eyes of the American government you are still the Librarian of the National Library of Peiping and that you still have the custody of its funds and its property（e. g., rare books）in America. Regarding the property of the National Library, he should write to you and not to me as a private citizen of China. We three are all friends, but we must get the legal points straight in our minds, so as not to hurt our personal friendship.
With all good wishes,
Very sincerely yours,
A. Kaiming Chiu

January 26 1951
Dear Mr. Yuan:
It was a great pleasure to see you in Washington and make up schemes for the promotion of good works as we used to do some time ago. In this connection, I am wondering if I should put on record our hope that you will be able to prepare privately a list of Chinese scholars in Formosa, Hongkong and Europe, giving their names, addresses, fields and some synopses of their careers with a view to having this information privately distributed to individual specialists in Far Eastern studies in this country, not for purposes of publication in any formal way or to the general public, but merely for the information of the leading scholars in the United States.
I wonder, on second thought, if you still agree that this would be a good idea, as it seems to me. If so, I wonder how this might best be done? I should think that any list you might prepare could be duplicated by the office of Mr. Graves and sent out through it. Or, alternatively, I should be glad to do so here in my capacity as secretary of the ACLS committee.
In either case, I should be very glad to hear from you as to this project. I hope that we may separately be able to follow up on the project for a digest and will let you know about it in due course.
Sincerely yours,
John

胡适覆函先生，告知中基会拟在三月下旬开大会，拟在会上讨论是否补助先生编撰《西文汉学书目》。
守和兄：
两信均悉，谢谢。
中基会的资产，因会章有“总办事处设在首都”等条文，故已被冻结。现已去交涉解冻，大概无大问题。
一月十五日开过中基会执行委员会与财务委员会联席会，因时局动荡，有新董事主张三月底召开大会。现已发出通告会期为三月廿九日，但未必能开成。如人数不够，则改开执委会。
尊意决定不就“Digest of Current Chinese Publications”，而愿意继续由中基会补助，使老兄能“以全力从事中国书目志之编纂”。鄙意原拟不必开大会，但现既召开大会，只好暂候大会中决定老兄补助的开题。倘蒙先期拟一英文说帖，继续报告已成工作，并说明继续请补助之意，则于我们最为方便。匆匆，敬祝双安。

今有一事奉恳：
国会馆似有赵家璧主编的“中国新文学大系”（良友公司出版）十册。其首册“建设理论集”有我的“导言”一篇（pp. 1-32），又有我的“逼上梁山”一篇（pp. 3-27）。这两篇后来都没有收在“文存”或“论学近著”里。昨天在哥大见此书，其纸每页都破碎了，故我想请你替我把这两篇做一副Photostat影本。共有五十六页之多，费钱若干乞示知，当即寄奉。匆匆，敬祝双安。

Dear Dr. Yuan:
I am sorry to have delayed so long in sending you a staff list of the P. U. M. C. We have had no list later than that of September, 1949, but we have revised it as best we can, so that I think it is reasonably accurate. Dr. Loucks, who left Peking last June, has been able to bring it up to date at least to that point. I enclose the list we have prepared.
I regret to have to tell you we received a cable from Dr. C. U. Lee last week reporting that the P. U. M. C. had been nationalized on January 20. We hope that it will be possible for Dr. Lee to send us written details in due time, but of course are not sure that he will be able to do so or that he will be able to say very much. Like you, we have great admiration for Dr. Lee. He has brought the College through many emergencies during the past few years and successfully handled many difficult situations. We know that the recent development was beyond his control.
Sincerely yours,
Agnes M. Pearce

萧瑜覆函先生，告知日内瓦“中国国际图书馆”已陆续搬运迁往乌拉圭，并就所询留法学生姓名告其所知者。
守和先生大鉴：
昨奉惠书，敬承一一。敝馆迁移已经开始，第一、二批图书已经运出，第三批以后不日继续起运，惟工作异常繁重，非短期所能蒇事。前言移馆比诸移山，实则运全馆于南美，诚所谓挟泰山以超北海，较移山为尤难也。弟离欧赴新馆时，当在三数月此间工作完全结束之后矣。承示大著《中国学者西文著述目录》，极为必要。弟十年前在巴黎曾率领一高材生作《中国学者法文著作目录》，并作提要与短评，已得百余种。惜因战事忽起，此生竟惨死于德军之手，稿件亦不知遗存何处，前功尽弃，万分可惜，否则今日定可供大著参考矣。示询论文名单之中文名姓有十分确凿者，兹另纸列附后，其他有不易查处者，有须待弟回巴时搜查十年前旧通信住址始能对照记出者，均当期诸他日也。统俟续及，即颂旅祺。

又，示询黄君在美地址，未知系指小女婿黄益否？彼之住址为Mr.Yi Huang, 319 West, 108th Street, New York City 25，并以覆闻，又及。
又，再阅所寄留法学生论文名单，殊不完备，无里昂中法大学前后廿年中论文数百本，多未列入，尤大缺点。
又，拙著法文自由诗小剧本名Pan-keou（蚌壳）曾先后奏唱于巴黎Opera及Thêatre des Champs Elysées及卢森堡京城等处，或亦可羼入聊充数也。
又，弟十二年来用全力以法文写著中国学典（中国百科全书）Encyclopédie Chinoise, Premièr Essai，已得一万五千余则，约合一千一百页，已大体脱稿，正在交涉待印，如得早日出版，当亦欲自荐占去大著一行。
又，执事所开留法学生论文名单，倘能将论文名目全题开示，将于考查著者中文名字大有助益，如何，乞酌。馆中装箱正忙乱中，临楮草草，至诸乞谅之。

徐家璧覆函先生，就所托之事一一答复。
守和馆长钧鉴：
敬肃者，前奉二月十六日手谕，嘱代查代办数事，只以琐务繁冗，不克即时完成。曾于二十日奉覆，请为酌予展缓期以便进行。兹以又逾一周，特将代办情形报告如左：
1.刘显卫先生地址，经亲自往稚晖学院调查，得悉刘公通讯处即在院内，其地址系85（非84）Riverside Drive。又刘公自拼姓名作Sien-wei Liu，而稚晖学院作Woochefee Institute，特录出以供参考。
2.哥大博士名单二十五人，已查出者仅为五人，其余各人虽经请求王际真先生、房兆楹兄协助，仍无所补益。王公尚能记忆Konrad Hsu，但其中文姓名并不详悉，因此无由补充。此外，璧亦曾向Columbiana特藏探求过去中国学生名录或出版刊物，惜均无所获。馆内搜藏，除有少数《留美中国学生季报》外（均已逐期检查），并无同学名录之类之书，是以访查无由，深为歉仄。
3.哥大近两年来，中国同学姓名录看似简易，实亦无从着手。盖此间同学为数向多，但组织散漫，晤聚时稀。前年在此主办学生会事务诸同学多已纷纷离校，或回国内，此后继起无人，会务已陷于停顿状态一年余矣。加之过去（目前仍不免）学生份子复杂，颇惹移民局及FBI注意，曾零星传讯学生多人，彼等认为哥大中国学生会屡有非法活动，使彼等有对本校中国学生组织加以监视之必要，此亦近一年来学生会销沉之一重大原因。根据此种现状，同学名册遂无人搜集、无人编造，及迨尊处需用亦无法可依应命。又编制此种姓名录，事虽具有价值，但际此目前世事动乱之时，每易招人忌讳，疑为“特务”，故人多讳莫如深不愿合作。此亦璧在此感觉辣手无法推进，苦衷所在耳。截至目前，璧已就本馆阅者登记片中之华人一一抄录名单一份，其余个人熟识，确在校中肄业者，亦为之加以补充，结果共得壹百余人，大抵约当全体百分之五十弱。至于详细明确名单，似可由尊处直接来函与本校外国学生顾问商洽，托为抄副备用，未悉以为若何。兹将顾问二人姓名录后，以便通讯。
Mr. Troup Matthews, Foreign Student Adviser（Teachers College除外），University Hall Annex, Columbia University, New York 27, N. Y.
Professor Clarence Linton, Student Adviser, 108 Teachers College Main Building, Teachers, College, Columbia University, New York 27, N. Y.
4.东亚研究所章程一册，随函寄奉，乞为检览。
5.哥大华人教员姓名曾遵嘱予以查访，且并面询王际真先生，其结果仅如另单所列，其间容有遗漏，不过亦难知其实况。所云物理系教授一名，现尚在访查中，如得结果当续奉闻。
胡兄绍声回国以后，未曾来函，惟据闻渠在北京人民革命大学圕任编目事（并非圕主任），待遇则为供给制，似此渠或已入党为干部矣。
沈校长方面消息未有所闻，学校改为国立或较易于办理，但不知人事牵动将至如何地步。
孙兄云畴近有函来谓在北大图书专修科任专任教员，担任圕学概论暨中文编目二课，情况似尚不恶，该专修科由王有三君主持一切，当为所悉。
又顾兄家杰去秋返国，现已就任中国科学院（即前中央研究院）图书管理处副处长之职，据云待遇合人民币七十万元，亦极清苦。处内尚有毛兄宗荫任编目事。如此，图书管理人才现下又集中首都矣。
此间馆务如常。匆匆，不尽欲言。嘱办诸事，歉未能如愿周至，统乞鉴原是幸。专此，敬颂道安。

守和吾兄惠鉴：
月前在华府小聚，甚快。琦来西部，忽忽竟已一月矣。郁文携二小孩于二月一日到S. F.，一路稍有风浪，尚不太辛苦，下船手续都尚顺利，在赵宅住三日即来L. A.。毛家房子不大，忽加老小四口，但早晚变化，竟亦可住下。小孩管理渐次移交彬彬，遂于今日辞职负担家事，所幸文德新就之事，每月收入可有二百余元，可以勉强维持。琦等定于星期日（三月四日）离此东去费城，稍停，九、十号返纽约。原拟来华府小住二、三日，藉与诸戚友晤叙，惟因UN有一Social Commission三月中在日内瓦开会，蒋、张诸公坚欲琦出席参加，故须早些到纽约准备一切。此去约四月下旬方得归来。最近琦等到纽约，仍暂住缪云台兄处，待琦归后，再作找房打算。嫂夫人衣服数件，拟日内先付邮寄上。月前曾接St. Louis-Oak Hill Cemetery管理人来信，关于鸿年坟墓似甚注意照顾，兹抄副张寄尊处分存，另以一张寄与惠年处，俾转告北平可以安心矣。
行前在港匆匆，只做得皋如黑绸衫一件、静侄所要长衫一件。尚有去年带港之两件衣样尚存敝处，容到纽约即当寄上。所存之款付清各项，尚余十四元四角，又买物清单当一并寄上，即祝阖府均吉。

费知乐先生至今一去无信，寄去的挂号函亦未见覆，昨又寄去一册寅师著《元白诗》作为赠送其新中文图书馆。香港方面，大家都以为去澳较英为好，因颇难入境也。又此间港府近办一汉文高级夜校（Evening School of Higher Chinese Studies），应征教员者凡二百八十余人，而只要十一人。事前闻不必托人介绍，故绝对未托人情，恐反而误事。不意显中者多为何艾龄等所荐，友人中有傅尚霖先生（曾在清华及中央教过，前夏在岭英夜校授课）亲告晚详情。该校用港大中文系房子上课，分中文、商业、新闻三系，每小时25元，一年上七个月课。如一学程为三小时，则可有300一月，不上课（公假亦算不上课，即实实在在上课之时数）不计，平均如得六小时，可以年入四千二百元。晚曾apply中国通史、隋唐史、唐诗、中国近代史（无史系，但新闻系及中文系皆有社会科学门）。港例秋季始业，此校因系明天开课，拟自目前起赶到明秋，教完前二年，明秋第一班者入第三年级。今秋尚要招生，因apply之人太多，教育司事实不上得不注意专家之推荐。何艾龄女士知晚在岭英为孚众望之教员，但彼实不知晚能授汉文学校，且每次来视察，皆是公事，看看上课情形。晚希望今秋前能将此夜校授课事办好，马鉴先生说最好是有两人推荐，彼允尽力（但已退休，因系旧人，渠如进言，多少有用）。何艾龄系教育司长以外，教司之第一有力者，不知我师能否打数行字为晚介绍一下，作为今夏apply之基础。马季明先生云，隋唐史及近代史皆非一年级课，而新闻系之一年级与他系同，故今秋应高班课程之征求较易入手。此说甚是，因一年级之课只有国文通史二□，通史已为罗香林先生弄到，渠与广东关系深，晚实不能与之抗也。费知乐先生处不知可否请再赐一函，其详细地址，此间澳使馆曾告晚。兹抄录如下：
Prof. C. P. Fitzgerald, The Australian National University, Box 4, G. P. O., Canberra, A. C. T., Australia.
又前订之Newsdom已收到否？订单存此，如有询问亦请便中示及，以便去查询。本期除高一三班英文（18小时）外，又加高三每班三小时西史，共24小时，月薪另加90元，但忙得不亦乐乎。匆匆，不尽欲言。专肃，敬请双安。弟妹均此问好。

Dear Dr. Yuan：
How has your work been going this winter? Have you been able to assemble any further material in Mongolia? This spring I am hoping to get the time to settle down to draw up a draft report on the whole subject, using your material, Mongol material that we have translated here, and my own material.
For egotistical reasons, I should also be very much interested to hear whether you have been able to add to your “Lattimore bibliography”.
You know you are always welcome at any of our seminars over here. Would you like to receive regular notification of them? On Monday next, March 19, we are planning to have a seminar on Khalkha Mongolia, given by Mr. Vreeland. We are also expecting Nathaniel Peffer that day, as a visitor from Columbia, and possibly Mr. Sundaram of the Indian Embassy. If you should care to come over and join us for lunch at twelve o'clock noon, we should all be delighted to see you.
Yours very sincerely,
Owen Lattimore

来台两载，疏候为歉。去冬读致杭先生大札，敬悉旅况清顺为慰。前代北平图书馆运来之地图十八箱，到台后杭先生命交“中央博物院”代管，亦经一载。最近会同开箱检视，见内部大致完好，有一箱微见霉痕虽无大碍，显系到台后所生，详情及新编装箱目录（由南京动身时，顾斗南未交装箱目录，亦未交钥匙），想不久院馆联合处当径寄上，不赘。故宫文物自37年十二月前后分三批运台，当时张柱中、欧阳邦华、励德人从中作梗，煞费苦心，今完好保存在台。严等在此经常开箱整理，凡原箱破坏者，一一换以新箱（大半均书籍箱）并加放樟脑，字画等一一加以布包袱，此均在故宫多年来所未办到之事也。竞业守护，使无险越，庶不负此责，再度流亡之痛苦。同人之在台者有那志良原古物馆人、梁伯华原图书馆老人、吴玉璋原古物馆老人、张德恒原照相人四位老同人，及刘奉璋、黄居祥、吴凤培（均抗战时在黔蜀新加入职员）及内人申若侠，共为九人，知关锦注，特略陈之。惟自来台后，北平、南京两院消息渺不可得，所念念不忘者亦即未运出之大批文物，不知将来究竟如何乎？兹有请者，严等在此每日经常工作为开箱晾晒书籍与字画，别无他事，欲于开箱之便摄照字画上作家印章及其签名，积少成多，将来可成专书。此事早亦有人为之。昔严在北平曾从事此项工作，因文物南迁而中辍。后德国孔达女士继续为之，虽已印专书，由商务出板，然根据材料太少，只不过上海三四收藏之物。故宫之物因装在箱内，未能尽量运用。今在台无事，正可继续此业，亦难得之良好机会。昔日所用之照相机为警察专照指纹之照相机，机械简单，每幅一按即可，科学日益进步，想美国若照此类物品之照像机，想必有新式者，先生能否代为物色、选择，如不甚贵，俟杭先生到美晤面后，商酌办理之。你虽在流亡仍能编印一二专门书籍，以作他日纪念，均出之先生之惠助也。附上概况一本，此间情形略具其内，伏乞查收是幸。专此，敬请道安。

March 27, 1951
Dear Prof. Yuan:
Thank you very much for your kind letter March 22, 1951. Though the information does not seem to have been encouraging enough, yet I feel very grateful for your deep concern.
I will follow your kind advice by talking the matter over with my tutor and see what he could do.
As there is an emergency program for Chinese students who have come to the States before June 1950, I wonder if you could kindly make some enquiry whether I could be benefited by that scheme. I went to the States to study in the University of California at Los Angeles, 1948-1949. It was your brother, Dr. T. L. Yuan, who sent me abroad as a faculty member on leave. By Christmas, 1948, I was stuck financially. However, I pulled myself through by working at odd jobs. Before I went to the States your brother recommended me to the British Council as one of the candidates for B. C. Scholarship. But as the result of which could not be known until 2/3 of a year later, Dr. suggested I had better go to the UCLA first since there was an opening at the time. All unexpectedly I got a letter from the British Council by April 1949 saying I had been granted the B. C. Scholarship. As I was financially stuck and as I was told I could study Shakespeare under Prof. A. Nicoll, I decided to leave UCLA in the middle of my work. Here I am working at the moment for M. A. on translation and production of Shakespeare. If I can get a chance, I will resume my work in UCLA or Yale for Ph. D. if you think the possibility is there, I will get a letter of readmission from UCLA at once.
I have talked with the British Council authority about your enquiry. Because of a drastic financial measure, the staff members of the British Council itself are to be cut. As for the possibilities of considering applications from Chinese now studying in the States or anywhere else it is entirely out of the question at least for the moment. One even hinted they wouldn't do that even they were in a position to for reasons beyond their control.
With thanks and regards, I am
Yours respectfully,
C. H. Chang

My dear T. L.:
This is a much belated expression of gratitude to you and Mrs. Yuan for the wonderful hospitality you both extended to me while I was in Washington last month. The many pleasant moments spent with you have meant a lot more to me than the sessions of the Philadelphia Conference.
From Washington, I went on to New York, where I stayed until April 17th. calling on old friends, seeing prospective publishers, book-hunting, etc. And to pay for my extended truancy, I have had to meet class many evenings for extra make-up sessions, which have kept me busy ever since my return. Hence my failure to write and thank you and Mrs. Yuan sooner, for which I trust you will forgive me.
I wish also to thank you for taking all the trouble to order the cards for me. The package arrived in good order quite a few days ago but still remains unopened! My conscience feels guilty every time I look at it on my desk top. Hence this hasty note to tell you I am not ungrateful. I shall write you again at greater length as soon as I have a breathing spell.
Meanwhile warmest regards to you both and to the children.
Yours as ever.

先生致信Agnes Pearce女士，请该会考虑资助编纂中国近现代医学及生理学文献目录。
May 18, 1951
Dear Madam:
You were very kind to send me, at my request a list of the scientific staff of P. U. M. C. for which I was deeply grateful. It helped me a great deal in checking the published writings of the leading professors of that College.
For several months I have been engaged in compiling a bibliography of the writings of Chinese medical doctors and physiologists. The purpose of this project is to have a complete record of medical literature written in Western languages by Chinese authors during the last forty years.
In view of the large amount of editorial work, I have felt the need for clerical assistance, although I am doing it entirely as labor of love. For this reason, I wonder if the project would fall in any way within the present or potential activities of your Board. I would like to explore the possibilities of obtaining a modest grant（about $1,500），in order to bring it to a successful conclusion. A statement regarding the project is herewith submitted.
If your available funds for this year have already been allocated, may I suggest that you hold my application for consideration next year, as my bibliography would not in any way be completed until the summer of 1952. When the manuscripts are typed ready for the printer, the China Institute in America will be glad to publish it in book form.
If Dr. Harold Loucks is still in New York, please convey to him my greetings. You may like to ask his advice in regard to my project.
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

Dear Mr. Yuan:
Miss Agnes Pearce has turned over to me, for information and reply, your letter of May 18th containing a request for financial assistance by the China Medical Board in your project of compiling a bibliography of Western medical and physiological literature by Chinese authors. I will be glad to place this request before the Board, which is now in the process of formulating its future program. It may, however, be some months before sufficient progress is made for specific requests of this kind to be given consideration. Also, it is not yet clear just what limitations the Board will set up for the type of project which it is willing to consider. I am very much interested in the work you are carrying out, however, and shall see that you receive further information concerning your request as soon as it is possible to supply such data.
I have wondered a good many times in the past months as to where you were and what you were doing, and I am very glad to learn about you from your letter. I wonder what is happening at the National Library in Peking these days and whether you still receive information from there. As you doubtless know, the PUMC was nationalized on January 20th, and the China Medical Board no longer maintains any contact with the institution. We hear indirectly that its time and attention is being devoted pretty largely to the care of casualties from Korea.
Most sincerely,
Harold H. Loucks

Dear Sir:
I enclose a copy of a letter received here from our agent and your acquaintance, T. K. Koo, about the problem of releasing to us books he has acquired in our interests. I'd like very much to have any advice or suggestions you could give me as to procedure in this case. It occurred to me and to Mrs. Man-Hing Yue Mok that yours would be the most useful advice we can call on.
Naturally I'm very anxious to secure these books and feel that it would be in the cultural interests of all concerned if it could be arranged. Naturally however I do not wish to involve the University in any unethical or embarrassing agreements. I understand that normal trade arrangements are difficult both between the mainland and Hong Kong and out of Hong Kong to the U. S. You are acquainted with all of these matters and will know best what I should do.
I might say that the Bank of China has officially expressed regret that it cannot be of any service in this particular circumstance. You then are our only hope and I look forward with much interest to your response.

May 26, 1951
Dear Dr. Loucks:
Thank you so much for your letter of May 22 and for the information you gave me. I am deeply grateful to you for your interest in my work. The project I am carrying on involves so much drudgery that very few people would like to do. I only hope that my devoted service may be of some help to the medical profession at large.
I have had reports regarding the recent developments in the National Library and in the Palace Museum. Both institutions seem to be doing very well. Because of poverty, collectors have been offering their private collections to the state and these two institutions have been busy in receiving gifts of great value. I only regret that the scientific collections which I built up in Peiping have not been kept up-to-date, as no subscriptions have been placed for American and British scientific and learned journals for the last two years.
For this reason, I hope your Board will continue to subscribe the journals for P. U. M. C. and to store them here for the duration of the present emergency. You might see fit to add a few additional journals of general scientific interest which had not been subscribed before. When the time comes for forwarding them to Peiping, I am sure they will be greatly appreciated there.
When you do come to Washington, please give me an opportunity to see you. I can usually be found in the reading room of the Army Medical Library. My telephone is: Li-4-1638.

Mary C. Wright致函先生，请推荐合适的图书馆员为斯坦福研究中心就现代中国社会科学方面开展的研究提供文献服务。
June 6, 1951
Dear Dr. Yuan:
I am venturing to ask you, on behalf of the Stanford Research Institute, whether you know of any competent persons who might be available for cataloguing and bibliographic work on modern Chinese materials. The Stanford Research Institute, as you may perhaps know, is not a part of the University and is not, therefore, subject to all the limitations of the University salary scale. In general, it has been prepared to pay a realistic and competitive salary for work which it needed.
At the present time the SRI is undertaking a series of social science studies concerning modern China, with particular attention to the field of economics. Since their research people will be relying mainly on materials in the Hoover Library, the Stanford Research Institute is prepared to employ and place at the disposal of the Library an appropriate number of qualified persons. We at the Library will have no concern with the research aspects of this undertaking. Our responsibilities end with making all of our materials readily available. There is, of course, in this a very great and lasting benefit to the research in the modern Chinese field which we and others will undertake, since the results of the bibliographic and cataloguing work will be made generally available. I believe that the SRI contemplates initial appointments for a period of one year, with the hope of renewal. If you have anyone who you can suggest, I shall be grateful for an immediate reply. We shall probably have to move rather quickly, since of course bibliographic work must at least be well advanced before the research itself can begin.
Arthur joins me in greetings and all good wishes,
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Wright:
It was a pleasure to hear from you and to learn the progress you have made in building up the Chinese collection at the Hoover Library.
In view of the huge collection of source material which you have accumulated, I would suggest that you try to obtain the services of a trained and experienced librarian to assist you in the undertaking. New graduates would not be competent enough to handle the situation.
I have asked several people in the East to consider your offer, but they seem to have been tied up with other work and would not be immediately available. I wonder if you have written Mrs. P. K. Mok of the UCLA at Los Angeles. She might know of someone in the West coast who would be qualified for the job.
I shall certainly bear your needs in mind. If I know some competent people, I shall not fail to let you know.

前奉手片，敬悉一一。芝校图书系章程尚未印出，闻周内可以出版，已嘱办事室径行寄奉，不日当可收到。本周为春季最后一星期，功课甚忙，图书史一课已结束，惟无Syllabus，参考书仅于讲及某题时随时提及介绍，并无印就书单，俟将笔记整理后，另为择录抄奉。Butler年事已高，耳聋，口齿已不甚清，大约不久即将退休矣。最近在该班写一Term paper，题为China as illustrates in European Books of the 17th & 18th centuries; a cultural interpretation，底本已寄光清兄处一阅，拟嘱其阅毕送呈尊处加以指正。又Master论文拟写关于中国译书之影响，已经教授会议通过核准，兹将大纲一份奉呈一阅，并恳就组织及材料方面加以指示，俾得充实，大纲一份仍乞掷还为祷。北平方面想常有信报告，平馆是否隶属文化部抑属教育部，北大圕学专修科仍继续否？现有何人执教，前托华罗庚所带shellac应早收到，未知来信提及否？专此，即请近安，并候阖府均吉。

Dear Mrs. Wright:
Referring to your letter of June 6 and my reply of June 13, I have given the matter further consideration. It has occurred to me that an experienced librarian may be available and I would like to recommend him to you very highly. His name is Joseph C. Ting who was in charge of our reference work and reading room service for many years in Peking. Both you and Prof. Wright must have met him during these years while you were there.
He is a most conscientious and hard-working librarian and has rendered very valuable services to the library development in China. He has been for the last two years pursuing advanced courses in bibliography and cataloguing at the University of London and will be completing his studies in August. He has never been in the United States which he is most eager to visit and if he could be urged to join your Library, he would be an invaluable asset.
Before writing to him, I would like to know if you have got someone already in the meantime. If not, are you prepared to give him travel expenses from London to Stanford? How much would be the annual salary?
Mr. Ting won great admiration from the authorities of the School of Librarianship both at Liverpool and at London. I think the School would write you most favorably if you would write to the Director direct.
I am suffering from eye trouble and could not write as fully as I would like. Please excuse me the poor typing as I could not go out to buy a new ribbon.
Yours truly,
T. L. Yuan

Dear Dr. Yuan:
In further answer to your request of May 18th, I now am in a position to inform you that, unfortunately, it will not be possible for the China Medical Board to consider your request.
In proceeding with the matter of future program, the Board recently has received the ruling, by its legal counsel, that grants can be made only to medical schools in the Far East and the United States of America. This ruling has at once eliminated many worthy projects which were being contemplated, including your own, and I am very sorry, indeed, to need to send you this information. Personally, however, I should like to send my encouragement and hope for your success.
I shall look forward to an opportunity to see you at some time when I am in Washington.
Most sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Wright:
With further reference to my letter of June 18, I now find that Mr. Joseph C. Ting did not study at Liverpool but at Glasgow in 1949-50 and at London in 1950-51. His present address is 69 Cornwall Gardens, London, S. W. 7.
As I wrote to you before, Mr. Ting is a most competent person for the work you have in mind. As a reference librarian, he assisted many readers in the use of modern Chinese material. Having had sufficient experience in bibliographic and cataloguing work, he would be able to make all of your materials readily available.
He has an amiable personality and gets along with people very well. Because of his previous record in China, he was awarded a British Council scholarship. If you are interested in him, you may write for particulars to the following:
1.Director, School of Librarianship, University of London, Gower Street, London, W. 1
2.Prof. Otto B. van der Sprenkel, Department of Oriental History, School of Oriental and African Studies, Malet Street, London, W. C. 1
Prof. Sprenkel is a specialist in the modern Chinese field, and I think it was on his recommendation that Mr. Ting was awarded a British Council scholarship.
I have much pleasure in recommending Mr. Ting to you, as I am sure he would be the most suitable person you are looking for.
Sincerely yours,
P. S. In case your Institute decides to have Mr. Ting for a year, I would like to suggest that you facilitate his coming either by paying his travel or advancing one month's salary depending on your own financial situation. I know Mr. Ting is a poor student and has no dollars to pay for the trip. In order to get the necessary visa from the American consul, he would probably need a formal letter of appointment from your Institute. In this letter you may like to emphasize that he will handle the cataloguing of Chinese material, so that there will be no difficulty for him with the immigration authorities.

芮玛丽覆函先生，告Bonnar Brown将联系先生讨论聘用丁濬的细节问题。
June 25, 1951
Dear Dr. Yuan:
Thank you so much for your letters of June 13th and June 18th.
Mr. Joseph C. Ting would appear to have excellent qualifications for our purpose. As I think I mentioned to you, in this particular instance the Hoover Library is not the employer; this present project in modern Chinese studies is being undertaken by the Stanford Research Institute, with which we have no formal connection at all. However, since the Stanford Research Institute expects to use our materials, they are prepared to add to their staff enough persons competent in library work and bibliography to see that their research people are adequately provided for. The problem is, therefore, a little different from what it would be if we were proceeding to make an appointment ourselves in the usual way. It may be that in a few more months we ourselves will have the funds to do this. The present opening is in the hands of the Stanford Research Institute. I am, therefore, transferring your letter to Dr. Bonnar Brown of the Stanford Research Institute. He will doubtless write you concerning the salary range contemplated, special qualifications, and the problem raised by the fact that Mr. Ting is now in London.
Arthur joins me in all good wishes.
Sincerely

豪幼攻拉丁文，长而自习法文与意文，最后始学英文，故英语不甚流畅，且带法音，自思到美数月，必能改进。读英文书则毫无困难也。

Dear Dr. Yuan:
Mrs. Wright has written you previously about the research project on China which we are undertaking. This will utilize a large mass of materials at the Hoover Library which are practically untouched since having been received. One of the first and very extensive jobs will be to catalog them and prepare bibliographic information on selected subjects.
It has occurred to us, without knowing anything of your plans, that it just might be possible that you would be interested in coming out to take charge of a group of cataloguers and bibliographers that will carry out this work.
As Mrs. Wright stated in her letter, the program is planned to continue for several years. We are able to make an appointment for only one year, but there would be hope of renewal.
We could pay $5,000 for the year period, which would include a three weeks'vacation. We could also undertake to pay the way of yourself and your wife out here and back.
If you are interested, I should like you to advise me at your earliest convenience, so we can prepare the formal appointment. Naturally we would like to have you as soon as possible, but the program is sufficiently flexible so we can probably conform with your schedule. Accordingly, please indicate when you would be available.
I appreciate your information about Joseph C. Ting, although I am afraid, he is too far away for it to be possible to work anything out with him.
Yours sincerely,
Bonnar Brown

Dear Mr. Yuan,
Enclosed you receive:
1）The Bibliography of the writings of Prof. E. Haenisch
2）A list of the papers written by me
3）Two Supplements to the bibliographies of O. Franke and A. Forke
In your letter of 20th Dec. 1950, you asked me for another copy of the bibliography of the writings of A. Forke; I hope that you received the copy sent off by me immediately after the receipt of your letter. I hope also that the copy of the obituary written by me in memory of Prof. O. Franke has reached you in due time. I am very sorry I could not send you the bibliography of the writings of Prof. Haenisch before. This delay was called forth by several reasons, but it would lead me too far if I should go here into details. Please, be assured that for the future I shall readily assist you in your bibliographical work. As to Dr. Fuchs, I beg to inform you that he left Hamburg a year ago and went to Munich where he is very likely to get the sinological chair of Prof. Haenisch who has resigned recently owing to age. I informed Dr. Fuchs by letter that you would like to get a list of his writings, but I do not know whether he has complied with your request. If you are still interested in this matter, I shall try to compile such a list. Do you know that Dr. Wolfgang Haenisch, the son of Prof. E. Haenisch, resides no longer at Berlin? He has been recently appointed director of the Library of the University in Marburg.
Finally, may I ask you a favour? I should be much obliged to you if you would kindly inform me whether the Library of Congress has a copy of the following work:
四书翼注论文by张甄陶hao：惕庵
Should that be the case, please let me have a photostat of the different commentaries concerning the last sentences of the Mong-tse = text, included in that work. As to this sentence, J. Legge in his Chinese Classics Vol. II p. 502 says: “The concluding sentences here wonderfully vex commentators. In the‘Supplemental Commentary’（四书翼注论文）are found five different interpretations of them. But all agree that Mencius somehow takes upon himself the duty and responsibility of handing down the doctrines of the sage.” Unfortunately, Legge does not cite the texts of these five commentators.
In this moment one thing more comes into my mind: I need urgently the following articles by李源澄：评胡适说儒，published in Kuo-feng国风Vol. VI, Nr. 3/4（Nanking 1935），pp. 24-35. Please, can you help me in getting a copy of this article?
Thanking you very heartily for your assistance,
Yours sincerely,

July 28, 1951
Dear Dr. Yuan:
I am delighted to have your letter of July 21st and your own direct confirmation of the news that you will be able to join us. We are much in need of your advice concerning the future direction of our program of acquisitions concerning modern China as well as concerning the effective organization materials at this end.
Naturally the great bottleneck is cataloging. We have been fortunate in obtaining the services of a very competent young man who has recently finished his training at the University of Washington, Mr. Wen-chin Wu. He seems to me to be doing an excellent job. However, with one clerical assistant he can scarcely be expected to keep up with the requirements of a large group of researchers. I am still receiving an occasional application, which I am forwarding to the SRI, but nothing very promising is turning up. As usual, it is much easier to find people to use materials than those who are willing and competent to make them ready for use. Fortunately, Dr. Rowe knows the picture well enough to realize that the present SRI staff for this project is unbalanced, and I believe that he is sympathetic to the idea of correcting that imbalance by appointing more people to the library side of the project.
When you first suggested Mr. Joseph Ting, I wrote at once to the Director of the Library School at the University of London and to Professor van der Sprenkel; however, I have not yet had their reply. I also turned over copies of all the correspondence to the SRI people and expressed the hope that they might find it possible to bring Mr. Ting here. I gathered the impression that they were very reluctant to look so far afield as London and that they have so far taken no action. However, they can now see as well as I can the difficulty which is likely to develop in the course of the coming year unless the situation is remedied. I am therefore venturing to repeat to them my earlier suggestion that they seriously consider an immediate appointment for Mr. Ting, with a provision of a salary advance for travel expenses. In all this I am assuming that Mr. Ting as a professional librarian will be quite prepared to “slug it out”. There is always one difficulty in appointing a person of his experience to a routine post of this kind. Such a person often may himself wish to proceed with research and with consideration of the more general bibliographic problems in the expectation that “someone else” will handle the troublesome details. As it happens, we are relatively well supplied or soon will be with people concerned with the broader aspects, and it is just these troublesome details that may throw the whole project into jeopardy. It would be most helpful to me and also to the SRI people if we could have your assurance that Mr. Ting would be prepared to devote himself to library chores.
Looking forward to seeing you in September,
Sincerely,
Mary C. Wright
Curator, Chinese Collection
P. S. Your letter of July 26 has just arrived. The enclosed recommendation of Mr. Ting is certainly impressive. I will return the original as soon as it has been copied.
It looks a little as if Mr. Ting may be too competent a person for the routine work of cataloging here, but I should like to have your opinion on this point.

I trust that you already have good agents in Hong Kong and Formosa and you can count on them for the regular supply of current material. I would like to suggest that you try every means to build up:
1.A complete collection of telephone directories of all cities both in Communist and China; from which a great deal of information can be obtained.
2.A collection of photographs of all sorts showing the life in modern China, to be supplemented by the cuttings of illustrations from newspapers and magazines. Three copies of illustrated news should be subscribed for this purpose. Such a collection of pictorial material would be of immense value to research scholars.
Concerning Mr. Ting, I really feel that it would be a great pity if we lose him. He is a good cataloguer in every way and is a devoted and hard-working librarian. In other words, he takes more pleasure in serving others than in engaging research himself. I can assure you that he would be the right person you are looking for. The reason why you have not heard from the people in London is probably due to the fact they are now on vacation during the summer.
Under separate cover, I am mailing you a number of Chinese current periodicals. I am sure that you may have them already, but it is always useful to have extra copies especially when you want to cut down the illustrations for the purposes set forth above.
With best wishes for your continued success,
Yours sincerely,

胡适覆函先生，告知其所撰书评两篇皆出于愤慨，并祝贺先生出任斯坦福研究中心胡佛研究所中文编纂主任。
守和兄：
谢谢你八月二日的信。
我评Payne一文（Payne's Mao Tse-tung was one of 40 “most outstanding books of 1950” selected by the American Library Association. What will old Dr. Brown of the ALA think of it!），是有意用气力写的，意在惩罚这种轻薄妄人。此文我有许多副本，若老兄愿留一份或几份，我当寄上。已寄上两份，乞送一份给恒先生。
我评De Francis一文，已在American Historical Review的七月号登出，此文我没有副本，故不能寄呈。七月号刚出版，馆中必易得也。此文用意亦是惩罚妄人。岂有不能辨别“胡适”与“胡愈之”的人而配高谈“中国文字改革”的！
老兄得Stanford大学之函约，我听了
。是否特别注重Hoover Library的东方书报的整理？我听说Hoover Library收到近年中国抗战及中国共产党的材料甚多，而无法整理，故外人不易利用。若能得老兄领导指示整理的途径，一定可以发现许好资料。关于中基会补助金停止下半年（十月至三月）一层，我甚赞同尊意，请你写一英文短信，当即照办。匆匆，敬问双安。
弟胡适

Weldon B. Gibson致函先生，告知拟聘用丁濬担任斯坦福研究中心高级编目员，但无法负担其离英赴美的旅费。
August 8, 1951
Dear Dr. Yuan:
Mrs. Wright has turned over to us the correspondence on your ex-colleague, Mr. Joseph C. Ting, who is now at the University of London. It is our understanding that Mr. Ting might be available for employment at the end of September. We wonder if you could give us some help in regard to the possible employment of Mr. Ting at Stanford Research Institute. We are therefore furnishing you with answers to some of the questions in your letter of June 18 to Mrs. Wright. We would appreciate your reactions to our proposals, and ask that you do not, as yet, contact Mr. Ting until we have had an opportunity to weigh your answers.
We are prepared to offer Mr. Ting a position of “Senior Bibliographer-Chinese Literature”. The salary for this classification would start at $300.00 per month, subject to the usual deductions for Social Security and income taxes. Work week, vacation allowances, sick leave and holidays are as described in our letter to you dated July 16, 1951.
We cannot, under our contract, provide Mr. Ting with transportation from London to Palo Alto. We are prepared to furnish him with transportation funds equal to the cost of a one-way air fare from New York to San Francisco, plus incidental travel expenses and funds for transportation of personal effect amounting to $300.00. This amount may be spent at his discretion（expecting of course that he would arrive at Palo Alto at a date we would agree upon）and would pay the greater portion of his travel expense, assuming a tourist class ship passage and rail transportation from New York to Palo Alto.
We would like very much to have Mr. Ting with us, and I imagine that you would enjoy working with him again. Please let us know how you feel about these proposals as quickly as possible, since, if your reaction is favorable, we will have many details to work out if we are to get Mr. Ting here this fall.
Very truly yours,
Weldon B. Gibson
Chairman-Department of Business and Industrial Economics

大示及明信片均已拜读，大著体大思精，佩服无似。厚承赐阅，感激之极。承命注意文字上之斟酌，愧不敢当，籀读之际，偶有疑点，辄用铅笔注示，以作芹献，统希卓夺。僭越学陋之处，并盼海涵。
《殷虚文字乙编》此间图书馆查已入藏第一册，弟回平时所代买续出一册，前月亦已由台北寄到矣。
文从下旬东徙，闻之怃然，弟本意北行侍坐，畅聆教益。日来肠胃又复作祟，不敢多动，此愿之偿，只好俟诸来年矣。匆匆奉复，敬颂夏安。

方豪覆函先生，抄寄台湾“立法委员”名单并谈德礼贤著作翻译、台湾地区出版的英文期刊及杂志等事。
守和先生大鉴：
七月十八日尊翰奉读已久，因学校在暑假中，人事颇有更动，故教授名单不易录寄，现亦仅能先寄文学院一份，余续寄。“立法委员”名单等候更久，因有“附逆”者，有在港澳而未表明态度者，甚至有已处死者，最近始托人抄得一份。仅附奉，乞检收。
关于德神父书，一部份可译，一部份乃将中文译为意文，若再译为中文，则无意义；其最重要部份，当为尚未出版之利氏外文遗牍，故弟拟俟全集完全出版后，再加摘译，想先生亦必以为然也。先作介绍，当然可办，惜台北无适当刊物可发表。
台湾之英文刊物仅有博物馆出版Quarterly Journal of the Taiwan Museum, Published by the Taiwan Museum, Taipei, Taiwan颇有价值，各国交换甚多；又新出Newsdom半月刊，则报道内幕消息。其他有一小型英文日报。拙编台大文史哲学报及拙著若干种，另邮寄奉。弟事承留心并示多点，谢谢。专复，敬请撰安。

George Boas致函先生，请先生以航空信方式寄送对拉铁摩尔学术能力的评价并告知此项表述可能用作证言对外公开。
August 28, 1951
Dear Dr. Yuan:
The recent charges against our colleague, Owen Lattimore, include that of not being a reputable scholar. It is admitted that he is a clever and able journalist, but since he has no university degree and no title of “Professor”, he is accused of occupying a position on the Faculty under false pretenses.
As a friend of Lattimore's, I believe that it is important to vindicate his reputation and that vindication can come only from those of his colleagues who occupy chairs of Far Eastern thought, language, culture, history, and the like. Would you be kind enough to send me by air-mail your opinion of Lattimore's professional ability, with permission to quote your opinion over your signature? My purpose is to gather such opinion in one memorandum for him to use in any way he sees fit. If you do not wish certain parts of your reply to be quoted, kindly indicate such parts. It is understood that Lattimore will, if he uses your statement, present it either to the investigating committee of Congress or to the press or to both.
May I add that this invitation was initiated by me personally and that I have not been prompted to issue it by anyone in the administration of the Johns Hopkins University.
Yours sincerely,
George Boas
Professor of the History of Philosophy

查良钊覆函先生，告知中华人民共和国文化访问团赴印经过，并谈华侨在印情况。
守和先生惠鉴：
前奉十月十四日手书，藉悉一是。承询所谓文化访问团来印情况，因该团系受政府招待，代表官派，一切旅程集会皆有规定，并无与外人自由会叙之可能，除丁西林团长及其他指定代表在集会作宣传演讲外，在德里居留约一星期（十月廿九至十一月六日）参加形式招待会，并无自由接谈之可能。虽然德里大学曾以名誉博士学位给丁西林与冯友兰，亦无机会与人谈话。
十一月一日是西南联大第十五周年纪念日，那天下午可巧该团团员三人被邀来参观此间中央教育学院，院长邀我参加招待他们的茶会，因为有冯友兰在内，我想联大八年同事，借此机会见一见面亦可稍为知道一些老同事的情况。没想到三人之外还有一位同来，当我同副院长及其他两位印度朋友走进茶会场所的时候，已经在开始后约十分钟，当我在进门时看见冯友兰坐在院长之旁，我走过去的刹那间，冯等已先起立，未与其他招待的十几位教员打招呼就走出去了。
宏章原在UNESCO Sci. Office，住学校附近，我常到他家中吃中国饭，去年中共派大使来德里，他也全家赴站欢迎并时常接近。在今年九月廿三，他携眷返国内大陆休假，夫妇携一男三女飞港，闻其原拟留两女一男在国内上医科大学，夫妇二人携最幼一女于十一月杪返德里。现假期将满，尚无归来消息，昨闻其公子已有函致此间友人，谓全家留国内，似此则或留学习，能否再回UNESCO现尚无从揣测。
印度对于中国虽有友情，但很少了解。关于印度有关中国之著作出版无多，近托此间学院图书馆主任代拟目录，寥若晨星，原条附奉，恕未另抄。
前年十二月于无意中来印度参加UNESCO Seminar on Rural Adult Education，遂留国外在德里大学任教，同事相处颇洽，明年四月暑假即满期，届时是否继续留印，现尚无从预计。匆此布复，不尽欲言。即颂旅祺。

程绥楚致函先生，转赠夏济安主编的刊物，并谈撰写申请哈佛燕京学社奖学金的论文主旨。
守和先生、夫人双前：
敬启者，在十一月十六日挂号寄上英文Free China Review，系夏济安先生（代总编辑）自台湾寄来嘱奉上请赐指正者。夏君在九月份有文一篇（以前各期多有彼之文字），系讨论中国文化之前途者，彼深盼能得到尊驾之指示与批评。夏曾到过尊府，但晚已不记得曾拜见过否。渠原任北大外语讲师，现在台大教英文及西洋小说，彼英文造诣甚具苦心。该刊将为“中央党部”接收，因经费关系，于是以后将多刊要人言论。此实为宣传之最蠢技术，不若津贴给教授办，外人反重视所刊言论也。夏与刘崇鋐师皆为编委。夏君之弟志清，为K. C. Li基金自北大送耶鲁研究外文学者，已得博士学位，尚留在耶大。夏君在前年即领有出国护照，但因经济关系，不能成行，渠亦盼到美再多读书。晚自接到尊示后，即着手准备论文，与表兄劳榦通信讨论，然非有书而又有半年时间不能作成，彼不得已指导晚就已有材料中排编二题，任选一个，一为“东汉初年的经济发展”；二为“商君的思想及秦代社会”。前者太简单，后者则参考书易得（在香港），故已选定第二题译成英文，盖以为秦之声威，决非始皇短期达到西方，至少在始皇前一百年树立。穆公用孟明图霸西戎起——围郑之次年（629 B. C.）已早于始皇三四百年，而商君入秦在361B. C.，变法得到成功。前之管子甚短，桓公图霸只一时，宋王荆公则失败，以言“土改”，恐只有商君成功，晚乘此意与之商讨，劳以为然，故作此题，以证明强秦后垂一百余年而始皇得以西垂偏国统一七雄，使中国进入统一之帝国时期。近又与宾四师讨论过二次，拟稿成，先奉上请教。蔚林公司已告晚，手册及科学刊皆已缺，另尚有人完觅也。另外大公书店（与《大公报》无关，商营）出有一剪贴而成之一九五〇手册，系报章集成，甚厚，内容亦有点用，拟日内购寄。
哈佛燕京社之Fellowship，不识系作研究工作抑能入校读书？论文成后，请求手续是否有表格要填？均乞一并便中示知。崇基学院，颇有前途，美基督教大学基金联会及伦敦皆有资助，将在九龙沙田建校，此间Bishop Hall助力甚大，岭南美国蓝教授明年将来此教课，李应林先生在教会颇孚人望，渠亦盼晚能去美一行。杂志约二十余日到，恐尚要十天也。余俟再上，敬祝双安。

胡适覆函先生，请不要东来，告知其最近行程安排，并询问先生推荐方豪前往哈佛燕京学社的进展。
守和兄：
十一月九日的信，至今未覆，罪过罪过！千万请恕罪。
先人日记，日内即寄给你，乞转赠。是否赠Hoover Library or Stanford Univ. Library？便中倘蒙示知，以便决定寄一部或两部。有二事奉告：
①十七日我的生日，我不能在纽约，因事势如此，实无颜做生日，故借讲演之事，十二夜即去Univ. of Notre Dame，十五日事毕后赴The Natural Law Institute，即去中部小休，“躲避生日”也！千万请你不要为此事东来。敬谢谢吾兄的盛意！
②方豪（杰人）先生来信，说起吾兄拟推荐他去哈佛燕京作研究工作，他很高兴，信上说吾兄曾拟约我推动此事。此事是否已在进行中？有需要我助力之处否？均乞示知。
匆匆，敬祝双安。

先生覆信胡适，谈捐赠胡传日记事并请协助推荐方豪至哈佛燕京学社访学。
适之先生：
奉到四日手教，欣悉种切。本拟于十七日以前赶到纽约参加祝寿。今既外出旅行，拟俟新年时补祝并拜年也。尊人日记如赠Hoover Library壹部，实已敷用，如有多份可赠下列诸处，近均参观，知其需要。关于方杰人拟来美研究一节，曾告其向该社径行申请，如有填写留美Reference之必要，可写先生大名，此事于八月间曾经面陈，谅尚记忆。如哈佛燕京社不来信询问其成绩大约在明年三月以前，或以申请人多，暂无希望，如来信征求尊意，则再推动玉成其事，至所感荷。该社向来侧重耶稣教会人士，至于对天主教学者有无歧视则不知也。匆匆，敬颂俪安。
同礼敬上

拉铁摩尔覆函先生，感谢寄来有关外蒙古史料，并回寄张之毅所编蒙古书籍、期刊目录。
December 7, 1951
Dear Dr. Yuan:
Thank you very much for your letter of November 27, together with the material in Mongolia, which has arrived safely. We are starting to work on it here.
Of course, I shall respect your confidence. I appreciate very much the valuable work you have done in gathering this material.
Under separate cover, I am sending you a copy of the Chang Chih-yi bibliography on Mongolia. Unfortunately, this work was completed when I was under very heavy pressure, so that I could not give it a final editing, with the result that there are a good many misprints and mistakes in Romanization.
With all good wishes.
Yours very sincerely,
Owen Lattimore
Director

彭望邺覆函先生，告通讯地址，并表明年愿前往北美另谋生计。
守和表弟台惠鉴：
昨石曾先生交下手书，敬悉一一。承委代表出席此间国际图书馆各项会议，至所欣愿。李公见告来函于尊衔上冠“前”字以示区别，具见苦心，惟渠意则尚不无稍异耳。客里残年将经三度，天涯沦落能不怃然。明春拟作北美之行，颇有另谋生计之想，倘能于华府或纽约间重图良晤，曷胜盼幸。临笺神往，不尽所怀。专复，顺颂旅安，并祝年釐。
