I6th. July, 1935. Dear Dr. Andersson, I was much concerned to hear from Ashton that you were seriously ill; but now I am delighted at news of your recovery. If I had not heard of your illness, I should have written you on several questions. First let me thank you most heartily for allowing the two fragments of moulds from An-yang to be sent to me on loan for study. I enclose a (OR which would have been sent before if the Customs had not held up the parcel for a long time. May I have your kind permission to publish photographs of these two fragments? Would you be good enough to give me the benefit of your great geological knowledge on the question whether native copper occurs within the territory of ancient China. By "native copper" I mean copper in the natural metallic state, not ores of copper. If it does occur, can you please tell. me something about the distribution. With regard to the copper objects mentioned in your Preliminary Reports on Archaeological Research in Kansu (1925), would you please tell me whether these are hammered or cast? Has any analysis been made of the metal to prove its constitution? Of course you will be coming over for the Exhibition, and we shall be much looking forward tothe pleasure of seeing you, With kind regards, Yours sincerely, UlklTillverkad1935image/jpeghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/tn/10208933/E1A-12_0310.jpghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/zoom/10208932/E1A-12_0310.jpghttp://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#pdmarkÖstasiatiska museetZerohttp://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkiv/204091http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/html/510546http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/xml/510546http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/rdf/510546
