Scope and content
Letter from Samuel Beal to Brian Houghton Hodgson to thank him for the pamphlet about Hodgson's service. Beal had hoped that he might have gained a position at Cambridge University as Professor of Buddhist Chinese but there seems insufficient interest. Beal agrees that Bunyiu Nanjio is the only person really working in the field but Beal feels that he only views it from his national standpoint. Handwritten, 4 sides, 5 July 1883.
