Oct. 8 - I have succeeded in getting a passport for Eo Son Chuen to go 



westward and collect. I will send Mm off for about a month, and 

 he ought to get some good specimens. 



Oct. 10- Ho has gone on his trip. 



Oct. 25 - Another hunter of experience, a Chiang Aboriginrs has come and will 

 begin work soon if the Communists do not prevent. The Communists 

 have come down threatening "fats ienlin and Mongkong, and MuPin - 

 the whole China - f^ibetnn border. That may hold up our collecting 

 work a short time or a very long time. 



I will forifard this diary to the Smithsonian Institution and begin 

 a new one.

Dear Dr. wetmore,- 



I have just engaged an aborigine hunter to collect large mammals, 

 and will set him after the less common large mammals, such as the 

 golden haired menlsez. ^ rr^o-t\ H,e,y 



Kindly see that the second $500.00 is placed to our credit at 

 Shanghai as early as possible. . 



I hope you can send us soon another shipment of duplicates with 

 their scientifitj names for the natural history museum. 



I have the skinner Ho out collecting small mammals and am now adding 

 the Chiang Aborigine to collect large mammals. 



¥ery sincerely yours,
