G. Izikowitz, Son-La, TONKIN. Dear Dr. Izikowitz:- Please excuse me that I adress you in English, as my secretary is English speaking. I have to thank you for your letter to which I reply by return of post. Your review of our efforts to meet is not entirely complete. After having heard about your intention to come here I informed Mons. Coedes with the help of Mons, Lapicque, that you were welcome out to my cave a certain tuesday, when motor boat and all convenience was ready for you, but for some reason yöu nevor turned up. During this time at the height of my reconnaissance and excavation work, I was never in Vatchay except for some few hours and con- sidering my extensive outfit - including a small steemer launeh - it was my duty to delay the work not a single hour. You have kindly to take these conditions into account. As to your need of further funds, you know very well tlat I can from here suggest no donor, the only possible thing would be that I lent you the nec- cessary sum. And this I am willing to do upon one condi- tion, namely, that you can get the Gotemburg University, Karlgren, or Coedes to under-write the unconditional pay- ment of the semm before the end of this year. You will reallse that all my available funds are for difinite ar- chaeological purposes and that it will take me some care- ful arrangement to be able to fulfål the offer given above, but where I stand I absolutely need the guaranty of one of the three mentioned scientific authorities. Yours very truly, I. G, Andersson P.S: Thanks to the d£eision of tne Riksdeg the other day, Karlgren is now my successor from July next year, Is that a chance for you in fiotemburg?</pres:description><pres:context><pres:event xml:lang="sv">Tillverkad</pres:event><pres:timeLabel>1937</pres:timeLabel></pres:context><pres:image><pres:mediaType>image/jpeg</pres:mediaType><pres:src type="thumbnail">https://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/tn/10234339/E1A-15_0264.jpg</pres:src><pres:src type="lowres">https://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-om/web/image/zoom/10234338/E1A-15_0264.jpg</pres:src><pres:mediaLicense>http://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#by-nc-nd</pres:mediaLicense><pres:byline xml:lang="sv">Östasiatiska museet</pres:byline><pres:copyright xml:lang="sv">Statens museer för världskultur</pres:copyright></pres:image><pres:references><pres:reference>http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkiv/204094</pres:reference></pres:references><pres:representations><pres:representation format="HTML">http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/html/511854</pres:representation><pres:representation format="XML">http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/xml/511854</pres:representation><pres:representation format="RDF">http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-OM/arkivdokument/rdf/511854</pres:representation></pres:representations></pres:item>
