dc.description.transcriptionPhone- Pr.1-1764 Jan. 9, 1957 Dear Mr. Monnig:- Sorry to be so late in answering letter received from you about five weeks ago.- Actually I put off answering because I was not certain about being in St. Louis at this time. An old friend in Pasadena, Cal. wanted me to come for a visit this winter, and I had planned to go this month, but my plans had to be changed, and I will make the trip later this year. So I will be here after all, and if you wish, you can see me on your return trip from New York. You guess as to not having heard from me during past year was correct, because of my never having found the missing smaller meteorites.- However, the collection as is, amounts to at least three fourths of original with the larger and important stones here. I did find an envelope containing some correspondence between Dr. Gustavus Hinrichs and K.R. Ramsdell concerning the large white crust meteorite, which gives information on the date, hour, and year of its fall, etc. I don't know whether you have seen this before or not, but since it dates from (over) the year 1894, the paper is very brittle, and I cannot send it by mail. I still hesitate about selling collection, because of the missing stones, feeling that original collection should be kept intact.- and I have almost given up hope of recovering the missing small stones. It is doubtful that this will reach you before you leave Texas, but possibly it will be forwarded to you. In case you wish to call me by phone when you return from N.Y., the number is Pr.1-1764. Sincerely, Rosa D. Hinrichs
