Description

Letter written by Dr. Wu Yi-fang (吳貽芳) to Margaret Hodge, Florence Tyler, and Rebecca Griest upon her return to Nanjing following her visit to America and Europe. Dr. Wu provides her colleagues with updates on the new construction and details the buildings' proposed uses. The ongoing issue of land registration was resolved somewhat reluctantly by the Western leaders of the 'old' Ginling upon the receipt of a cable "when the situation was very threatening in regard to possible war with Japan."
