>> [Presumably Clayton's 1987 autobiography (with Nancy Miller  
>> Elliott) has been consulted. The entire third chapter is devoted to  
>> the Shanghai trip but I see no mention of Li Jinhui in the index.  
>> Regarding archives, see <http://library.umkc.edu/spec-col/ 
>> clayton.htm> but there are also some Clayton materials from Elliott  
>> at Rutgers IJS. -mf]
