芒太尔覆函先生，告前信所询瑞典学者信息已经代为收集，并告将前往墨西哥。
Stockholm January 8, 1957
Dear Professor Yuan,
I was really very happy to hear from you again. It is long ago since we met and the world has changed a lot.
It took some time before I could get together the information wanted by you as I was so occupied by preparations to go to Mexico for a short period. As I have no real assistant, I have to arrange everything myself. I expect to leave January 25th and return to Stockholm in end of April.
A new edition of Vemär det just has appeared.
I hope to hear from you soon again.
Yours sincerely
Gösta Montell

董作宾（香港）致函先生，谈代购赵少昂画事及在港生活状况，并告知其回台打算。
守和吾兄：
承惠赠水笔，现在即用此笔写此信，甚合用。弟曾于十一月底，为“中研院”筹备开院士会议，飞回台北。在台北住了一月余，于本年一月六日返港。幸弟下人口平安，故未久留。
张迪善君为兄带去之物，曾有详目奉告。留下未带者为荣宝斋彩色套印信封笺一小包，因恐检查出大陆出品，不许入口也。留在此弟亦未用，将来设法寄上。兄前次所言购赵少昂画一事，弟与他不太熟，故托人找他的画十幅，弟曾亲见，但定价稍大者600元，小者250元，弟觉太贵，故未敢买之。且皆花鸟，弟亦不知何种能合兄之意见，故未能办，亦未奉告，乞谅之！
在此虽已住一年，但各方面仍生疏，每买一物，必烦朋友相伴，费时甚多。且托人带美，亦极不易，故视买物为畏途。弟已决定暑假满期即归。一位老人，孤身久居于外，甚非所宜，且弟患血压高症，虽常服药，亦不能保不出毛病也。年来稍清静，可一理旧稿，如此而已。专函道谢，并叩□□新年安好！

Dear Miss Ferguson:
Thank you so much for your kindness in sending me your very interesting report which I read with a great interest and admiration. I feel keenly that your work is meeting a timely need and you certainly have my very best wishes for your success.
Will you please send me a list of the historical monographs which your Board has so far published? The only monograph which I do not happen to have seen is that on the University of Nanking. If it has been issued, could you send me a copy with your bill?
With thanks and kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan
P. S. In connection with my bibliography on China, I have included those on Cheeloo, Hangchow, St. Johns, Soochow, Fukien Christian, Ginling, and Hwa Nan, but I have not seen those on West China Union and Univ. of Nanking.
May I also request you to check the year（not the dates）of birth of the following authors: W. B. Nance, Matilda S. Thurston, and L. Ethel Wallace. Also, the year of death of Rev. John J. Heeren whom we all know very well. Many thanks for your valuable help.

福梅龄覆函先生，告东海大学近况及亚洲基督教高等教育联合董事会出版的有关中国基督教大学著作日期，并告前信所询四位人士的生年或卒年。
January 28, 1957
Dear Dr. Yuan:
Thank you for your letter of January 19th and for your kind comments on the recent reports of the work which the United Board is now doing in Asia. We are ourselves particularly happy about developments at Tunghai University in Taiwan where the institution seems to be making a very real place for itself on that beautiful island. Of course, we have only two classes of students so far but in another two years we will have a full four-year enrolment and there is certainly no lack of students who want to be admitted! Our only difficulty is in building up a faculty of the quality and strength which this eager group of young people deserve to have. Under the effective administration of President Tseng, however, with the devoted and hard-working group he has already gathered around him this too is on the way to accomplishment.
I list below the historical monographs on the China Colleges which have so far been issued, showing in each case the date of publication:
Cheeloo（Shantung Christian University）—August 1, 1955
Fukien Christian University—July 6, 1954
Ginling College—January 15, 1956
Hangchow University—January 15, 1956
Hangchow University—January 15, 1956
Hwa Nan College—September 21, 1956
St. John's University—August 1, 1955
Soochow University—March 23, 1956
The monographs on Yenching University, West China Union University and the University of Nanking are not yet ready. We hope that the one for Yenching will be out sometime before summer but I do not know yet what the publication dates for the other two will be.
You ask for the year of birth of the following authors: Dr. W. B. Nance, 1860; Mrs. Matilda S. Thurston, 1875; Miss L. Ethel Wallace, 1880. Dr. John J. Heeren died on February 7, 1941.
In connection with the date of birth of Mrs. Thurston and Miss Wallace, may I remind that some women are sensitive about having their age known! I do not know whether this applies to either Mrs. Thurston or Miss Wallace but I think it is something to remember.
With warm personal greetings to Mrs. Yuan and your good self,
Cordially yours,
Mary E. Ferguson
Associate Executive Secretary

February 8, 1957
Dear Dr. Yuan:
Further to my letter of February 4, 1957:
Mr. Thomas J. Wilson, the Director of the Harvard University Press is still abroad but I have had an exchange of correspondence with his assistant, Mr. Mark Carroll. In his letter to me of February 6, 1957 Mr. Carroll tells me that “we are indeed interested in considering the possibility of publication here. Would you transmit our expression of interest to Dr. Yuan, as you have so kindly offered to do, and tell him that we look forward to hearing from him? I am especially interested to learn whether the possible subsidies for publication cover preparation of the manuscript, for the final report does not make this clear.”
Accordingly, I now suggest that you write to Mr. Carroll; I think his interest has been whetted. But, if I can be of assistance, especially in making suggestions about reproduction from typewritten copies, I should be glad to do so. I told Mr. Carrol about the Bissainthe bibliography, but I very much doubt whether he has seen the volume.
In this connection, it would almost seem to me that, if your work were to be reproduced from typewritten copy（as was the Bissainthe work）it might promote efficiency if the typing were done under your supervision. In the case of the Bissainthe bibliography the author read proof on the same day that the sheets were typed.
Sincerely yours,
Verner W. Clapp
President
〔Library of Congress, Council on Library and Information Resources Records, Box 95〕
按：Thomas J. Wilson, 1947年至1967年担任哈佛大学出版社主任，Mark Carroll（1924-2010），1956年加入该社。2月6日，Mark Carroll回覆克莱普的信中还有一句非常重要的评价：“His final report on the project is most informative, and I hasten to say that we are indeed interested in considering the possibility of publication here.” Bissainthe即Max Bissainthe（1911-1978），历史学家、海地文学的档案学家，曾在20世纪40年代至50年代出任海地图书馆馆长。Bissainthe work应指Dictionnaire de bibliographie Haitienne，1951年华盛顿出版，海地文学的首个书目，信中提及此人此书，似与其中涉及多种语言文字有关，尤其是美国印刷厂中罕见的文字铅排，可以借鉴该书的方式。该件为录副。
徐家璧覆函先生，告知嘱办各事情况，并谈邓衍林归国后希望更多图书馆专业人才能够回国效力。
守和先生尊鉴：
敬肃者，昨奉月之三日手谕，诵悉一是。关于嘱办各事，奉覆于下：
一、唐盛镐君住址，似在514 W. 114th St.，但确否尚待查，又其所住Apt.号数，亦不知悉。故尊函暂留，一俟查明，当即转去不误。
二、Ke Han著作，经已再查，兹将整个著录列下：
Ke, Han（重庆新华日报记者）
The Shansi-Hopei-Honan border region; report for 1937-1939, pt. 1. Chungking, New China information committee[1940], 34 p. fold. map. 18 cm.（New China information committee bulletin, no. 15）[又哥大无是书之pt. 2]
三、陈鸿舜君生年，经查哥大圕校档案，知为一九〇五年十一月十一日，谅甚可靠。
四、Ryusaku Tsunoda先生曾在哥大任教，并创办日文部，任Custodian之职，先后凡三十年，于1954年告老退休，是以并非富路特先生学生。其生年经查系在1877年，上月中已渡其八十生辰矣。
此外邓衍林兄返国后，近已来信，略谓一切情况良好，且圕近则甚受政府重视，大有可为，甚盼吾人亟早作归计，以便对于祖国建设，有所贡献耳。彼个人则已受北大圕学系之聘，当任教授，主讲圕机械化之种种设施！实亦大可惊异之事也。余容续呈，敬请道安！

董作宾（香港）覆函先生，告知查访吕碧城生卒年结果，并已托唐君毅访美时带上所购笺纸。
守和吾兄：
前由台赴港接奉大示，林仰山一纸，当即转去，想彼必有函奉复也。承询吕碧城生卒年一事，曾托友人查访，兹据云仅访得吕女士卒于民国三十一年阴历十二月十九日，其生年无人知之。又云其译出之佛经印本前曾刊有其小传，不知在华府能访得之否？此间求之不得也。
近日新亚教务长友人唐君毅兄，应华府之聘，赴美讲学，乘此机会，托唐兄带去上次买到之信笺一包（此一批早已在购物单中，约二十元左右），至华府即可奉上。又兄曾托求赵少昂画，弟托人取阅数幅，皆已精裱，多为大件，润笔由六百至二百五十元，故未购求，因携带亦不甚便也。前函似已奉告。
唐兄初到美洲，拟参观国会图书馆，乞拨冗代为介绍吴光清兄招待之。专此，即颂旅安，新春百福！

February 12, 1957
Dear Mr. Clapp:
I am most grateful to you for your letters of February 4 and 8 and for the fruitful contact you have made with the Harvard University Press. I shall write immediately to Mr. Mark Carroll as you suggest, giving him all the information he desires to know.
When I was in Cambridge last year, I noted that a copy of Bissainthe bibliography was on display in the reading room of the Widener Library. As I presume that it is still there, I shall ask Mr. Carroll to have a look of it.
I shall, of course, keep you informed as to further development of this project.
With renewed thanks,
Sincerely yours,

叶良才覆函先生，告知胡适因胃溃疡入院手术的大致情况。
February 20, 1957
Dear Dr. Yuan:
Thank you for your letter of February 18, 1957. Dr. Hu was admitted to the New York Hospital in the evening of February 17 because of bleeding from peptic ulcer. He lost a great deal of blood that evening and was given 4 blood transfusions. The next day he rested very well. It was hoped then that an operation could be avoided.（The doctor did not want to have the operation because of his heart condition）. However, he was bleeding again midnight of February 18th and an emergency operation was decided upon. The operation took 3.5 hours because the doctors had to go very slowly in applying anesthesia. The operation was very successful. We understood form the Hospital this morning that his condition up to now has been very satisfactory. His room number is 1209. No visitors are as yet permitted.
We will try to mail out the check to you before March 12.
Our warmest greetings to you and Mrs. Yuan,
Yours sincerely,

守和先生：
二月廿一日手教敬奉悉，本拟早日修候，总以事冗未果。最近曾往西雅图一行，归后又是琐细，本年因兼代王际真兄课，故较忙。哥大六月底合约满期后，拟返英，因年薪一千元不够维持也。去年向Bollingen请补助事无所成，已奉闻，花旗总是花旗，可玩之花样实不少，但如何耍法需时耳。上述各节，常在不安状态中，很想再游华府，却不敢动也。拙作绝句多打油性质，承过誉，惭悚惭悚。瑞士出版之儿歌系由英国版本翻译者，英本作者萧淑芳乃萧淑娴之妹，弟所序乃为英本，并非瑞士版本，故对王君中文姓名毫无所知，盖萧淑娴女士（瑞士一德籍音乐家之妻）并未将瑞士版寄弟也，也许寄过但在战争期中失落。辱询之点，无从应命，歉甚歉甚。但弟现欲转请教者则是崔骥之生年死日，足下或有所知，可否赐示。又L'Écriture chinoise et le geste humain: essai sur la formation de l'écriture chinoise作者B. Tchang Tcheng Ming, S. J.之中文姓名，如能一并赐告，不胜感祷之至！

大教敬悉。叔华在新加坡，无意继续任教，在辞职中，大约初夏可返英。弟去冬在新德里开会后，曾去星洲省亲，且同到曼谷一游。其画展目录，不知收在何处，恐须候其回英后方知有无存余也。鲠生到英曾晤及，谈话亦尚自由，惟见解不易相同耳。
伦敦经济学院同学中文姓名如下：
Chen Paky陈伯骥Ph. D广东人，似在澳经商；

陈尧圣日内陪同英方人士八九往台访问。
括胡须之刷子，曾到Selfridge探听。廉者仅数先令，贵者至五几尼，寄去外国大约可免购买税。来函谓“要最上等的”，不知系最高价者，抑二镑左右即可用。弟不知其毛之好坏，仅觉其大小有别耳。兹将较高价者列表于后，请示知再去买。顺颂著祺。

尤桐覆函先生，告知其对崔骥的印象，并谈普林斯顿大学玉兰花期。
守和先生：
手示敬悉。关于崔骥的生平，我知道的不多。在师大我们不在一系，似乎我比他高几班。见他有时和王重民往还，总想他是读国文系的。因为乡谊的关系，而且他比我们年岁都小，弟常都叫他“小崔”。他当时给我的印像是一个沉静寡言，很用功读书的好学生。他不喜欢作激烈运动，但饭后往往跟同学在操场散步。毕业后的生活，毫不清楚。他在英国时，我们因不在一处，没有什么接触，只听说他一面在熊家教书，一面又作《中国文化史》，生活十分刻苦。
玉兰花约在五月十日前后盛开，至盼先生来此一游。我们搬到乡下，很僻静，来时请住在舍下，至盼。此祝俪安。内子清旭附笔问好。

March 25, 1957
Dear Dr. Yuan:
Thank you very much for your prompt reply to my enquiry about Sié Kang.
If I may trouble you further, I should like to find out whether Professor T'eng Ku滕固is still alive; if not, I'd like to have the year of his birth and death, if possible. Also I have been unable to find the year of the birth of Tsui Chi崔骥，who died in 1950.
I have just seen Professor Maenchen and asked him about your query. He said he had already written to you about his “Katalog der chinesischen Lackkunst,” which he says was published in Vienna.
With best regards to you and Mrs. Yuan,
Sincerely yours,
Hans H. Frankel

Otto J. Maenchen-Helfen覆函先生，告知展览图录信息。
March 27, 1957
Dear Mr. Yuan,
The insignificant catalogue has the title: ‘Ausstellung Ostasiatische Malerei Chinesisches Lackgerat.’Publisher: Krystall-Verlag, Wien, 1937. The first 12 pages are a catalogue of the paintings shown in this exhibition them follows on pages 13-24 what I wrote, on pp. 13-14 an introduction, on pp. 15-25 a catalogue of the 103 pieces of lacquer, of which 13 are illustrated on plates X-XVI. My name appears only on p. 14, at the end of the introduction to the part of the catalogue which has to do with lacquer. So you see, it is one of those items which drive bibliographers to desperation.
Yes, I have known Arthur von Rosthorn. I saw him last in 1938. At that time, he was deeply depressed by the political events. If he had been younger, he undoubtedly would have left Austria and gone to England which he loved. I wonder what happened to his fine library.
With best regards.
Sincerely, yours,
Otto J. Maenchen-Helfen

Thank you most heartily for your very kind letter of January 28 which gave me all the information I had been seeking. Your courtesy has been gratefully appreciated.
Now there are two old friends of ours about whose year of birth and death I should like to be informed:
Rev. James Henry Ingram

With many thanks.

Cher Monsieur,
Pardonnez-moi de n'avoir pu vous envoyer encore les références dont vous avez besoin. Je suis accablée de travail et tout travail supplémentaire est bien difficile à mener à bonne fin. J'ai transmis vos réclamations à Monsieur Josserand et j'avais eu communication de votre dossier dès réception de votre lettre. Je lui avais déjà fait remarquer que vous étiez désireux de payer pour les recherches faites. Le plus simple serait à l'avenir de vous adresser directement à l'Office de Documentation dont je vous joins les conditions. Vous obtiendrez satisfaction bien plus vite. Nous ne sommes malheureusement pas assez nombreux pour nous lancer dans des recherches bibliographiques toujours compliquées dans une aussi grande institution que la nôtre. Impossible d'obtenir du Ministère des Affaires étrangères quelque renseignement concernant Monsieur Nachbaur, mais si vous écriviez peut-être vous répondrait-on, alors que mes coups de téléphone se perdent de bureau en bureau. Monsieur Cain est revenu enthousiaste de son voyage en Chine. Il a fait une conférence au corps des bibliothécaires à la Bibliothèque de Peking et a été longtemps interrogé, mais il ne m'a pas parlé des périodiques ni ouvrages mis à la disposition des lecteurs. La découverte de la Chine est certainement une merveilleuse expérience pour qui n'en soupçonne qu'à peine la richesse.
Veuillez recevoir, cher Monsieur, mes excuses et mes sentiments bien fidèlement dévoués

April 29, 1957
Dear Dr. Yuan:
Mr. Davidson of Yale Press has given me copies of your correspondence with him, and has suggested that we explore the possibilities of publishing your book. I should be most happy to undertake this and am prepared to start work on it in June, with the hope that a manuscript might be completed early next year.
I have examined the copy of the Bibliographical Guide compiled by you and published by the Human Relations Area Files. I should prefer in the supplement to Cordier to do a much more professional job and to give it a form as nearly as possible similar to that work. I should therefore like to include Chinese characters in the text, rather than relegating them to an index.
From the cards which you have sent, I am not clear whether you wish to have reproduced all the cross references and catalogue numbers that appear. If this is so, it would be simplest to photograph the Library of Congress cards. Out of the group of cards which you sent, only two are not included in the Library of Congress cards. In undertaking to publish this material, I should have to request that the sequence of information was made entirely clear, so that the cards could be handled by an ordinary typist. I note that sometimes information has been put in above or below the printed matter and often struck off in corners. We should have to be quite clear as to where this fits in.
I am returning 3 cards to illustrate what I mean. Where I have encircled the following numbers, my question would be as follows:
1.Where are these dates supposed to go?
2.Does this information come in large or small type?
3.What is the significance of the brackets?
4.Are both names to be included and if so, is this to be done for all Chinese authors?
We are very much interested in seeing this work published and ready to cooperate to the fullest extent. If there is similar interest on your side, perhaps I should make the trip to Washington to see your material and discuss with you the form in which we could handle it.
Sincerely yours,
George A. Kennedy

Dear Mr. Clapp:
Thank you ever so much for your letter of April 30.
I wrote to Harvard University Press soon after the receipt of your last letter. But for over two months I have had no reply. Then I requested Prof. Serge Elisséeff, Director of the Harvard-Yenching Institute, to see what he could do.
Failing to get any reply from him either, I wrote to another publishing agency, the Yale University Press. It was day before yesterday that something definite came out of the impasse. I now enclose copy of a letter from Professor George A. Kennedy. If he comes to Washington in June and if you are to be in town at that time, I hope we may solicit your advice in regard to its printing.
For my future work, I have been hoping to join the Reference Department at L. C., but no word has come from Dr. Adkinson. In the meantime, there was a vacancy in the Descriptive Cataloguing Division which I applied. As my application has been approved by the Librarian, I hope to join the staff after May 15. It is not the kind of work（GS 7）I like to have, but under the present circumstances, it is better than doing nothing.
With renewed thanks for your interest,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

Dear Dr. Adkinson:
It was very kind of you to promise to explore possibilities for my employment in the Library of Congress. I have been hoping that with your support some opening in the Reference Department might be available.
Having had no further word from you, I applied for a temporary position（GS7）as cataloger in the Descriptive Cataloging Division. As the recommendation for my appointment had been approved by the Librarian over a month ago, I expect to attend to my new duties beginning from the 16th of May.
This position is not the one I would like to have. But under the present circumstances, it seems better than doing nothing. If a suitable opening in the Reference Department should occur in the future, may I hope that you would bear me in mind?
You will be interested to know that Yale University Press has at last agreed to publish my comprehensive bibliography of modern China. Professor George A. Kennedy is coming to Washington in June and will have further discussions with Dr. Poleman, Dr. Beal and other sinological scholars interested in the early publication of this work.

正拟寄奉若干资料，又奉赐书。承询《缪荃孙年谱》及《小传》，竟未觅得，仅在《国学论文索引》内觅到关于林颐山的小传之记载，原文为冯昭遹作，载《华国月刊》二卷一号，馆中无有，已函询哈佛及斯丹福两校。又在《南菁文钞》（《南菁讲舍文集》第二集）黄以周序内有“主讲此席十二年矣”，此序是光绪二十年所写，则自光绪九年起即任掌教。至林颐山于光绪十八年中进士，以知县分发江苏。后任南菁书院掌教，似不会任黄以周之助教，二人交往的资料迄未觅到，如能觅到缪荃孙的小传或可找到若干资料。又纽永建为南菁书院学生，《南菁文钞》收其文章。如仍健在，可托台北友人就近一询关于黄、林两先生事迹也。
浙江督学行署确在宁波，光绪三年《鄞县志》记载较详见附件。如尊处需要其他资料，并盼指示，当再续查。同礼所编之书目，最近决定委托耶鲁大学为之印行，其工作报告拟八月杪再行奉上。承中基会支持数年，总算有一结束。近馆中拟编《全国中文书总目录》，约同礼协助，大约一俟国会正式通过豫算，方能组织起来。关于平馆照书事，拟委托何炳棣代办，将来寄到加拿大再转纽约。馆务近三年均由丁西林主持，但渠兼文化部副部长，恐无暇兼顾。仍由张某中共党员任秘书长，主持一切也。专此，敬候暑祺。

先生致信胡适，告所获黄以周的相关文献。
适之先生：
顷由斯丹福大学寄来《华国月刊》二卷一期，《林晋霞传》内中述及与黄元同的关系，并确定其生卒年，想尊处亦愿得此资料。又检孙雄、唐文治诸人文集，均无关于林君的记载。有下列两篇，不识已见到否，如需用，当再寄上：
《艺文堂文续集》卷一，《黄以周墓志》
《茹经堂唐文治文集》卷二，《黄元同先生学案》附著作概要约十余叶
又章太炎之《黄传》，亦需用否？并希赐示。专此，敬颂暑祺。

先生致信胡适，在国会图书馆尚未查到光绪初年宁波知府姓名，并告哥伦比亚大学图书馆所藏《大清缙绅全书》较为齐全，或可前往查阅，并盼赐一书法作品。
适之先生：
赐书敬悉。连日翻阅光绪三年《鄞县志》，在“书院”“族塾”“里塾”各栏内均未查到关于“辨志六斋”之记载，亦未查明光绪初年宁波知府的姓名，又查《大清缙绅全书》1889、1890、1893、1899各年，均未查到宋源瀚之名及其到任之年，仅查到当时知府为绩溪胡元洁，又在光绪十二年《浙江同官录》内亦查到胡元洁之详细履历，谅为府上前察。惟前在哥伦比亚大学图书馆查书时，见其所藏《缙绅全书》较为齐全。先生到该校查书时，似可一查光绪初年各期，想能查到。此书甚有用，可惜此间所藏者极不全也。又《清代三十三种传记引得》现已绝版，只得另觅旧的。
先生得暇时，至盼写一小中堂或横批，以便悬挂并志景仰，有便人来此时托其携下为感。
著作中文本五册顷亦收到，谢谢。如能再寄五册，当分赠此间各图书馆及友人也。专此，敬祝俪安。

Dr. T. L. Yuan
1723 Webster Street N. W.
Washington 11. D. C.
Dear Dr. Yuan:
I am covered with confusion to find that somehow or other I mislaid your letter of last spring in which you asked for the date of birth and death of Dr. J. H. Ingram and Professor Malcolm F. Farley of Fukien Christian University. On my return from vacation, I find your letter of August 1st., reminding me of that letter and asking for the year of birth of Dr. Paul H. Stevenson. I hasten to send you such information as I have.
Dr. Ingram died in June 1934 when you will recall he was the victim of armed robbers in his summer cottage at Shih Ching Shan. He was then said to be 75 years of age which would put the year of his birth as 1859. You can confirm the exact date of his birth by inquiring at the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, 14 Beacon Street, Boston, Maas.
We have no dates on Professor Malcolm F. Farley but Mrs. Farley is still living and her address is Box 1781, Balboa, Canal Zone. I think that a letter to her would get the desired information.
I am interested to see from your letterhead that you have moved from Eighth Street where you lived so long in such convenient proximity to the Library of Congress. I am always hoping to spend a few days in Washington to see some of my old friends and perhaps this autumn I may be fortunate enough to have the hope become a reality. In that case, I will certainly call you up and hope at least for a little talk on the telephone.
With warm personal regards,
Cordially yours,
Mary E. Ferguson
Associate executive Secretary
P. S. Dr. Paul H. Stevenson's birth date is December 22, 1890.

先生致信国会图书馆雇佣办公室，递交著录编目部高级编目员职位申请。
September 5, 1957
Dear Sir:
I beg to submit here with my application for the position of Senior Cataloger in Descriptive Cataloging Division described in Posting No. 4232.
It is my earnest hope that an outstanding American scholar with wide administrative experience will be selected as the Head of Far Eastern Section. If my application for the position of Senior Cataloger would be approved, I would be most happy to serve under him and to assist him in improving the quality of cataloging cards for Far Eastern materials.
However, I would withdraw my application in case a young Chinese or Japanese is appointed to that position. I wish very much to make this clear before my application is considered by Library authorities.
Thanking you for your attention,
I remain,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

先生致信国会图书馆雇佣办公室，同时申请著录编目部远东组主管职务。
September 6, 1957
Dear Sir:
In my letter to you yesterday, I indicated that if my application for a Senior Cataloger would be approved, I would be most happy to work under an American scholar if he accepts the position as Head of the Far Eastern Section in the Descriptive Cataloging Division.
My friends in the Library feel keenly that as a Japanese had already applied for the above-mentioned position, it is only fair that a Chinese scholar of more administrative experience should also be considered. All of them have urged me to apply, though I feel that as I have not yet obtained my U. S. citizenship, it is a drawback which the authorities will have to consider.
I now enclose my application for the position as described in Posting No. 4221. It is my hope that my two applications will be duly considered by the authorities.
I remain,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

先生撰写China in Western Literature: a continuation of Cordier's Bibliotheca Sinica最终报告。
Supplement to Cordier's Bibliotheca Sinica
Final Report
The second edition of Henri Cordier's Bibliotheca Sinica, published between 1904 and 1924 in six volumes, is a classified bibliography of Western works on China from the 16th century to the first two decades of the 20th century.
The Supplement, now completed, is a continuation of Cordier's work consisting of Western works on China published between the years 1921 and 1956. In its present form, it includes about 20,000 titles and will be made up in three volumes. At the end of the bibliography, there is a comprehensive index of authors, compilers, editors, translators and illustrators.
The title of the Supplement will be known as China in Western Literature: a continuation of Cordier's Bibliotheca Sinica. It will be published by the Yale University Press in the summer of 1958.
In reporting the completion of this work, the undersigned wishes to express his sincere gratitude to the Trustees of the China Foundation for the encouragement and support given to this project.
Respectfully submitted,
T. L. Yuan

先生致信饶大卫，对空缺中的耶鲁大学东亚馆藏负责人职务表示兴趣，询问是否对外招聘等细节。
14 October 1957
Dear Professor Rowe:
I hear that the Curator of your Oriental Collection has resigned and is going to join the staff at the Library of Congress here. Since you have always taken a great interest in the development of your Oriental Collection, I wonder if you could advise me whether the position has been filled.
I am rather interested in a position of this kind especially in an institution such as Yale. Before submitting my application, I should like to know if Yale would prefer to promote a junior member to this position, or to get a well-trained librarian from outside. Also, I should like to know the amount of the annual salary which Yale offers.
As I have a heavy financial burden, I would not be able to accept a position under $6,000. As you were good enough to recommend me for the position at Stanford Research Institute in 1951, I hope you could find out the desired information for me. I shall be grateful if you could let me hear from you at your convenience.
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

Dear Mr. Yuan:
I was happy to receive your letter of 14 October and to know of your interest in the position now open in our Library.
I cannot answer all your questions right now. But to answer in part, I believe that the University will have to go outside its own staff to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Tsuneishi's going to Washington. I cannot be sure of this, however. The position seems to be that they will take the best fitted person from any source, depending upon availability.
I do not think there is any way in which to find out what will happen just now, in view of the illness of the Associate Librarian in charge of such matters. However, as soon as I can get to him, I will try to see what is planned.
In the meantime, it would be very helpful to me if you would send me as soon as possible a complete biographical sketch of yourself. I am sure that would be helpful.
I would certainly like to see you come here to fill our post, as I cannot imagine anyone more qualified in every way.
With best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
David N. Rowe
Professor of Political Science

先生覆信饶大卫，略述1949年后先生在美履历及著述，并评价耶鲁大学东亚馆藏的现状。
24 October 1957
Dear Professor Rowe:
Thank you for your letter and your compliments. Professor Kennedy was also good enough to call me up yesterday.
My biographical sketch may be found in the 1948 ed. of World Biography which is on the reference shelf at Yale. Since coming to the United States in 1949. I have served as Consultant in Chinese Literature at the Library of Congress, Chief Bibliographer at the Stanford Research Institute, Research Fellow of the Rockefeller Foundation, Consultant to Human Relations Area Files, etc.
I have been cataloging both Western and Oriental books for the Library of Congress.The Annotated Catalog of Rare Chinese Books in the Library of Congress which I edited in 1954 will shortly be published in two volumes by the Government Printing Office here.
As I told Prof. Kennedy on the phone, the Far Eastern collection at Yale is far behind that of Harvard, Columbia and Princeton. If Yale is to hold its present academic position, the Oriental collection must also be strengthened in the near future. You seem to need not only a well-trained cataloger, but also a person who could work out a development program for building up systematically a comprehensive collection for the use of scholars.
I have been working on a bibliography of Russian works on China which forms part 2 of my larger work entitled: China in Western Literature, a continuation of Cordier's Bibliotheca Sinica. In view of the excellent Russian collection in Washington, I wish very much to complete the work before I am transferred elsewhere.
Will you kindly show this note to Prof. Kennedy, so that I need not repeat it in another letter?
With many thanks,
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

先生、吴光清一同前往拜访胡适，后者嘱在国会图书馆中查找摄制平馆善本书籍胶片的档案记录，并留二人晚餐。〔台北胡适纪念馆，档案编号HS-NK05-037-010〕
吴光清表述有误，1947年王重民仅带走其中的1份，1948年7、8月间国会图书馆应先生请求将1套胶片寄送国立中央图书馆，此时仅存1套本拟送给中国相关机构的原始胶片。
按：11月19日，吴光清致信胡适，告知已查实国会图书馆确实曾允诺赠送3份原始胶片与中国，1947年王重民所带走者为其中2份，可据此向该馆函索余下的第3份。

Mr. John H. Ottemiller
Associate University Librarian
Yale University Library
New Haven, Connecticut
Dear Mr. Ottemiller:
Thank you so much for your letter of October 30. I am happy to learn that you expect to be in Washington the middle of this month. I am looking forward with much pleasure to meeting you.
I am interested in the position at Yale not so much for its present status, but more for the possibilities of rendering a useful service in building up a center for research in Far Eastern studies. I am therefore very anxious to know the amount of your annual budget for the acquisition of Oriental materials. Perhaps you could spare one evening and have dinner with me, so that we could talk over matters in a leisurely way.
I enclose herewith my application form which is self-explanatory.
Yours sincerely,
T. L. Yuan

先生致信胡适，告知国会图书馆已找到平馆存美善本书胶卷，并建议其尝试运台。
适之先生：
近闻当局对于先生返台至为关切，想在最近数月内尚不致成行，最好候天暖再行动身。关于平馆善本胶卷一事，曾托负责人分别查明。在以往文件中，迄未查到任何证据。但近在地下储藏室内发现一批胶卷。经吴光清君断定，即是第二套尚未运华的。渠曾主张由“中研院”致函先生，请根据以前的了解，向此间接洽，予以运回。但近来馆中人事又有变动副馆长及参考部主任均已更动，恐新来的人，以胶卷价值关系不肯卖账，反成僵局。经一再考虑，拟建议改用外交方式进行此事，即由“中央研究院”致函“外交部”，由部径向“美大使”接洽。公文内似可附一节略，说明先生与前任馆长接洽经过。此间当局接到国务院的公文，即不致予以否决矣。先生如认为可行，不妨代“中研院”拟一节略，并可声明院中愿以刊物永久交换，似此措辞必可如愿以偿，仍祈钧裁为感。此上，敬候著祺。

Dear Miss Gaskill:
I trust that your Library has the following books. May I bother you once more as to their full bibliographical data?
My work on the Supplement to Cordier is about to be completed. It includes only monographs, but not periodical articles. My friend Dr. Taam had been working on periodical literature on China, but he passed away as a result of hard labor—a victim of bibliography.
I hope everything goes well with you. I note with particular satisfaction that books in your Library are cataloged much faster than any other Library—a real achievement!
With thanks and kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
