dc.description.transcriptionBox 36, Holliday Tex July 30, 1960 Dear Mr Monnig: I am returning the map location marked where the fragment was found. I drove down Highway 25 to where it intersects farm to market Rd 368 but it was too hot to walk down to location. You will come from Archer City on Highway 25 to where it intersects 368. Turn right on 368 to producing oil lease - about 1 1/2 or 2 miles. You can probably turn right through lease to oil pipeline which runs N & S through Canyon or you could continue on 368 to where it crosses pipeline. Turn right (south) on pipeline to where the pipeline enters teh canyon. The last time I was there you couldn't drive a car down into the canyon but had to walk about 3/4 mile to where I have marked a mk. on E. side of pipeline. This abrupt little hill is made up of heavy stratta of rock & the only hill there. We always used it as a point to locate any fossil bed we intended to return to. From this hill you will go East - down canyon - for about 1/4 mile where there is an old stock tank on the south. I picked up the fragment about 100 yards west & possibly a little South of stock tank. There is a way of going from here & coming in on the high point i have checked on map but it would be impossible to mark this on map. If you ever want to go to location I shall gladly go with you. Just let me know a few days before you intend to come up. If there is anything I can do to help you I will gladly do so Sincerely JR Jackson
