  desc: 0056 COPY 591 ,Amherst Avenue, Shanghai, Jan.6th.1937 Dr.J.G.Andersson, e/o Swedish Consulate General, Hongkong. Vy dear Dr. Aniersson, I write to apologise for not being able to see you before your departure although it was my intention to do so, However, I do hope tthat you have had a very pleasant voyage and that your mission will be ecrowned with every success. No doubt, you have heard that my collection of bronze budähas have been exhibited at the Vancoumer Golden Jubilee Exposition and subsequently at the Texas Centennial Central Exposition. A very good friend of mine took the collection over to Canada and the U.S.A. and she has returned to China a few days ago and informed me that my collection will soon be arriving in China by the Empress of Japan which is scheduled to arrive here on or about the 24th.of Jan. After giving the matter seriousthought, I have come to the conclusion that it would be more advisable to have the buddhas stored in some museum in a feee port -- like Hongkong or Singapore. The wisdom of this procedure, is, I am sure, shared by your goodself, as you, no doubt, mist be aware of the 'restirotions!' etc. In tbe meantime, I have written to a very good friend of mine in Hongkong, Mr.Davia W.H. Au, Manager of the Bank of Canton. Ltå. Des Voeux Rå .Central, in Hong- Kong ( a copy of my letter is enelosed för your information) I wonder if it would be too much trouble for you to be kind enough to advise Mr. Au or assist him in whatever way possible, in order to have my collection stored away either at the Hongkong Museum or in some suitable place pending its ultimate sale or disposal. Anything which yom can do in this direction will be more than appreciated. As there is very little time left, I shall thank you to get in touch with Mr.Au at as early a date as possible, and to inform me by Airmail, the result of your inter=- view. Any expenses incurred on my behalf will be refunded to you gladly, As the whole collectioa was exhibited at both the V…
