031.11 American Museum of Natural History (4th Asiatic)/34
Memorandum by the Assistant Secretary of State (Johnson)
The Chinese Minister called upon me today and stated that he had received a telegram from his Government informing him that a permit had been issued for the export from China of the thirty-five cases belonging to the Museum from the Andrews Expedition into Mongolia of 1928. He said that this would leave the question of the disposal of the collections of the 1929 expedition to be settled under the new regulations which were in preparation. The Minister told me that he had communicated this by telegraph to Doctor Osborn.
