COLLECTING AND FILING OF IDA PRUITT PAPERS

1998年，艾达·普鲁特的论文一直保存在玛乔丽·金博士的家中，并将捐赠给哈佛大学拉德克利夫学院的亚瑟和伊丽莎白·施莱辛格美国妇女史图书馆。金博士要求我支持她的安排，并在这些文件移交之前重新归档。然后我在那里找到了一些艾达·普鲁特和老舍的书信，可以看出他们在1946-49年间是如何在美国合作翻译《黄色风暴》的。我已经介绍了这些书信以及他们在老舍诞辰一百周年大会上的合作。我还在知识产权论文中找到了一堆草稿，后来写成了《中国的童年》和《韩的女儿》。安娜·苏厄德撰写和归档的知识产权论文中的其他草稿和剪报，对于研究帝国晚期和辛亥革命前美国驻中国使团的人来说，是非常宝贵的材料。1999年，我在《中国》中为艾达·普鲁特进行了研究，并花了更多的时间在北京邮电大学、单东神学院、单东博物馆、上海基督教图书馆等地收集和阅读档案。主要是在20世纪20-30年代的S，在那段时间里，我向艾达·普鲁特和老舍汇报了老舍在早稻田大学的研究年会。作为研究帝国晚期艾达·普鲁特的第一步，在中国和美国的革命即将结束之前，我计划把这些资料和资料放在一起，应该完全重建它。

1998Ida Pruitt Papers have been kept in Dr Marjorie King's house after her death, and would be donated to Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library for History of Women in America, Radcliff College, Harvard University. I was asked by Dr King to support her arrange and re-file those papers before they were handed over. Then I found some correspondence between Ida Pruitt and Lao She there, which could figure out how they proceeded the translation of The Yellow Storm in co-operation in a duration of 1946-49 in the U.S.A.I already have introduced those correspondence and their collaboration on the translation into English on the meeting for the centenary of the birth of Lao She, Beijing, February 1999. I also found a pile of draft in IP Papers, which were finished as A China Childhood and A Daughter of Han afterward. The other drafts and clippings in IP Papers which Anna Seward wrote and filed are very precious materials for one who study the American missions in China in late empire and before the revolution. Dr King has directed me rightly and always gave me some hints through it.1999I proceeded the research for Ida Pruitt in China and took more time on collecting and reading archive at PUMC, The theological school of Shan Dong, Shan Dong Museum, Christian Library of Shanghai and so forth. Most of time was spent on looking for archive mainly in 1920-30's. During those days I made a report of Ida Pruitt and Lao She on the annual meeting for Lao She's study in Waseda University. As the first step to study Ida Pruitt in late empire and before the revolution both in China and USA has almost finished, I am planning to put those arichive and materials together and should reconstruct it totally.
