  desc: Do CHINESE BRONZES A Project for a Corpus of Chinese Bronzes in American Collections Under the avspices of Professor Chen Meng-chia Harvard-Yenching Institute 314 Oriental Institute Boylston Hall 17 University of Chicago Cambridge 38, Massachusetts Chicago 37, Ilinois 29 October, 1945 Dear Professor Karlgren, It is really quite a long time since I wrote you some eight or nine years ago. I then joined Ts'ing Hua University and was in Kunming for seven years. In this period our department did much work in investigating the non-Chinese dialects in Yunnan and the rest of southwest China. I believe you know of and have already received a copy of the translation of your great work on Chinese phonology. It is a great ald to our — students to be able to read a translation of your book. I was fortunate in having the oppoartunity to read your Grarmeata Serica through the kindness of the National Library of Peiping, with which I was associated as an editor of the Chinese Archaeological Series. My wife has translated the introduetory chapter of your Grammata Serica along with my rather long review which was published in the Tsting Hua Journal, vol. 13, no. 2. I believe you have a copy of it now. In any case I shall send you another copy later. In the Autumn of 1944 I came to the United States on the invitation of the Rockefeller Foundation and the department of Oriental Langueges at the University of Chicago, to teach for a short time. I am also carrying out a project for a Corpus of Chinese Bronzes in American Collections, under the auspices of the Harvard-Yenching Institute. I hope someday my corpus will w extend to the European collections of Chinese bronzes. Enelosed is one of the work sheets used. It will probably be of interest to you. We lost all of our books in Peiping and now I am eager to get a complete file of the Bulletin of the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities. Up to just yesterday I saw nothing after volume ten and it was a great pleasure to see the new volumes, …
