dc.description	Letter from Jim Westphal (of the California Institute of Technology) to Oscar Monnig in support of efforts by a group of researchers at CalTech to get a specimen of the Bells meteorite to experiment on. Expresses his feelings that they would be very grateful to Monnig for any help that he can offer them, and that the costs can most likely be covered by the university. Encloses a preprint of some of the work that has been done, encouraging Monnig to reach out to Dr. Degen if he has any questions.
