dc.description.transcriptionDeport, Tex [Texas] Aug. 8, 1933. Mr. Oscar E. Monnig, 312 W. Leuda, Ft. Worth, Texas. Dear Mr. Monnig: Am in receipt of your letter concerning the fragment of meteorite I sent you. Sure, I'll tender you my permission to retain it another week, that you might make up your mind about purchasing it. ( y the way, you speak of the mind In a very familiar manner. I am at once reminded of beds. Can the mind be thus easily disposed of? Yours must be annextremely [an extremely] definite philosophy.) Yes, there was a kind of formation between the tines (forks) of the fragment, which I removed. It was grayish in color and had a peculiar odor. I couldn't rightly say where the burnt looking stuff inside the neck came from.---probably caused by atmospheric resistance. Hoping that you will discover the fragment to be something more than a "genuine object", l am very truly yours, Edgar L. Bryson Edgar L. Bryson. P.S. I like “Star Breeze.” Is it an original composition? It incorporates a beautiful thought. Do you like epigrams? Here then: Wise men are fools, who by strange fate are torn to occupy the stools of ridicule an scorn. E. L. B.
