dc.description.transcriptionFeb. 20, 1957. Dear Mr. Monnig:- Since I felt I had to give a little thought to the idea of halving and parting with half of the meteorite piece of the "White Crust," I am a little late in answering your letter. Yes, you may give permission for the cutting, and presenting the half to the Museum. Afterall, there is fifty lbs. more of it, so that piece can be parted with, without hurting the collection.- However, I do want the other piece book. (over) It is quite possible, of course, that the "white crust" was acquired on this planet, but unless I was given other proof, I would be inclined to rely on the date pertaining to it in my father-in-law's correspondence. If it were really much earlier than the 1892 fall, I don't see how that ever could be proved, unless there is some record of a fall in that part of Texas of an earlier date. Sincerely yours, Rosa D. Hinrichs
