| dc.description.transcription | [Duncanville TX file] 1978, Nov. 22 Dear Paul. Thanks for your Oct. 10th letter and the copy of the article on the Duncanville, meteorite. I'll keep it in that file. Truthfully, I have not read all the article because of the difficulty of reading it. My eyes are troubling me badly as I may have told you. Close work is becoming very difficult for me. It is also diffIcult for me to write as I never really learned the touch system entirely. And right now, in the bargain, my ribbon is acting up! I am not definitely turning down your request for a Holbrook piece but I must defer action. I am primarily concerned with giving T.C.U. certain meteorites in order to get tax deductions and the Holbrook's are scattered in several places so I don't know Just when I'll get to thrm [them]. All I can day is I'll keep you In mind. You need never be afraid to adk [ask] me anything! There is a complication about the Leedey specimen you jave [have] in that my original past with Nininger was that we would share equally all specimens we got from that fall. Ethically I suppose I should let him know about it butfor [but for] the present I have just been deferring that also. He id [is] well over 90 and still living at S dona, Arizona, , but did not feel up to coming to the meeting at Sudbury. I have thought about all my files on meteorites, and hope eventully [eventually] to give them to T. C. U mtoo, but they are not as well organized as you might think and I fear they would not preserve them or pay much attention to them. The truth is that I should do a great deal of work with them but my faioing [failing] eyesight eill [will] probably prevent that. I was gone for two weeks on a fall vacation to spot my wife likes. A fireball that qu8te [quite] probably y8ielded [yielded] meteorites was seen at Tempe and surrounding territory the Sunday night before I got there and Carleton Moore worked on it some but fears there is no chance for recovery of material that might have fallen near Ajo, Arizona, because the regiong [region] is practically desertedand [deserted and] uninhabited: I believe it is a firing range or something pre-empted by the army. Sincerely, | |
