| dc.description.transcription | Mailed 6/14 Route 1 McKinney Texas. June 12th, 1937. Dear Sir; My neighbor that lives on the next farm east of us has a meteorite. It is of the same stony and metal type as the one I found. But it isn't shaped like it. It is shaped something like this [sketch of oval] and weighs two pounds. Mr. Rob Furr is the mans name that found it. He said for me to write you about it. If I had known it thirty minutes earlier you could have gotten it while you were down here. He found it before you all went back toward McKinney but didn't quite know wheather it was a meteorite or not. I think it is probably a piece of the same one I found. Yours truly, Wayne Carter not met 7/3/37 Artificial cast iron piect I went visiting this evening and heard that a boy living about a mile east of me has two pieces (old marble) of a meteorite I haven't seen them but think probably he may have some. Say: That picture I drew doesn't look much like the meteorite. It is shaped more like a cake of hand soap. Collin - Tex On McKinney mets, talked Marshall Carter & W.F.
