Title	Letter from Sam Bishop to Oscar Monnig (December 18. 1963)
Author	Bishop, Sam
Date	1963-12-18
Description	Letter from Sam Bishop to Oscar Monnig apologizing for the delay in his replying to Monnig's previous letter, but he has been busy with work and the holidays. He says that he has visited Herbert Schulz to see the Cranfills Gap meteorite, and tried to convince him to send on a sample to Monnig so that an offer could be made. He states that Schulz is very opposed to selling the meteorite-unless he gets the right price-and even more opposed to sending out samples in case they are never returned. To that end he concludes that Monnig will have to come to Midland in person to carry out an assessment of the meteorite, and to try to make a deal with Schulz, which both Bishop, and Glenn Evans, would like to see be made in order to protect the specimen.
