I feel ought to pay not... to a veteran sinologue but to one who has always so sympathised with me in my labours and who has for many years shewn himself my kind & constant friend. With my best regards to Mrs. Wilians... T. Wade...". From the library of Swedish antiquarian bookdealer Björn Löwendahl (1941-2013).
