NANKING.
23rd March, 1931.
My dear Dr. Wang,
I am just back from a delightful cruise with
Admiral Chen and hasten to thank you for so promptly
giving me the information, conveyed by Mr. Hsu Mo
to Mr. Teichman, regarding the gentlemen selected by
the Chinese Government as members of the Purchasing
Commission to be established in London under the
Indemnity settlement.
With regard to your request for suggestions for
a British educationalist to serve as a member of the
Board of Trustees, I am now in a position to put forward
for your consideration the name of Sir William Hornell,
Vice-Chancellor of Hong Kong University, who would, I
venture to think, be an admirable choice.
You will no doubt have seen in the papers the sad
news of Sir Charles Eliot's sudden death on his way home.
(Sa) MILES W. LAMPSON.
