Monnig 312 Leuda Fort Worth, Texas Dear Sir: I am informed that you have purchased a number of meteorite fragments found in this section and wonder if you are still in the market for such specimens.

If you are interested in purchasing this fragment, please let me hear from you at one, stating price and any other information, and I will mail it prepaid to you by return mail. Very truly yours, Hugh Evans Mr. Evans [found sport Tex 90 days ago in rocky gravely place. I send you a gram Jess Wood.]
