| dc.description.transcription | HARVARD COLLEGE OBSERVATORY CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS July 31, 1933. Mr. Oscar E. Monnig 312 W. Leuda Fort Worth, Texas. Dear Mr. Monnig: I have referred to Dr. Fisher the matter concerning the meteoric iron found near Deport, Texas. He has the following to report. The Harvard Mineralogical Museum contains specimen #599 found at Deport, Texas, before 1932, class 0g, iron, which weighs 2724 grams. The total amount in this collection from this same spot is 3890 grams. I suggest that if you are pretty well convinced that you have a genuine meteoric iron, you forward it to the Mineralogical Dept. at Harvard for test purposes. I am sure that Professor Palache will be only too glad to do this for you. Mr. Millman is away for the present and I have not seen the meteor plate which you mention but I hope to see it before very long. I am always glad to hear from you and to receive observations from both you and the other members of your locality. With all best wishes, I am Very sincerely yours, Leon Campbell | |
