1 1 8 D O C U M E N T S 1 1 2 , 1 1 3 M A R C H 1 9 2 2 Now the situation has changed insofar as I have received an invitation to Japan with adequate compensation for a planned sojourn of four weeks, namely two weeks in Tokyo and two weeks in other university cities of Japan.[2] This would conse- quently agree with my also coming to Peking for two weeks. I do not know if the Japanese insist on my visiting Japan before China. However, I had intended to go to Japan first because I think that the winter climate is milder in China than in Japan and the period at my disposal for the Chinese and Japanese visit spans from about the middle of November to the beginning of January.

I would not like to fail to express to you my deeply felt acknowl- edgment of this magnanimous gesture toward the cause of Jewish culture. In utmost respect. 113. To Arthur Nussbaum[1] Berlin, 26 March 1922 Esteemed Professor, Yesterday the brother of my best friend, Mr. Besso,[2] was here, for whose com- pany, more spec[ifically], for whose branch in Romania, you are handling a com-
