Related Documents File - Three receipts from the Curator, Pitt Rivers Museum for the purchase of items collected by Aurel Stein in Chinese Turkestan, Khotan and Kashgar dated the18th, 19th and 22nd of May, 1944. Aurel Stein's visiting card, 1930-31: Red paper with Chinese characters. [GI 10/1/2002]One letter in the PRM manuscripts collection (Penniman Papers) from Stein which might explain his connection to the PRM. It is written to the curator of the time, Mr Penniman, dated June 6 1937: "22 Manor Place, Oxford. Dear Mr Penniman, I remember with pleasure our meeting at Kish in January 1929 and am glad to know you are now looking after anthropology here. It would have been a satisfaction to me to be of some little help to your future pupil as regard to his proposed visit to Lazistan. But I have never been anywhere near that tract(?) on the Black Sea and not knowing in what direction his interests lie I do not think that I could give any useful hints within the very limited time just now at my disposal, anyhow by writing. I have returned from a long journey in Iran and am about to seek some needful rest in the Cotswolds. But later on I hope for a chance of seeing you again. Yours sincerely, A. Stein.
