Dear Sir: Some ten days ago I was in a doctor office for treatment and happened to notice a pecular rock lying on a table and I asked him what kind of a rock it was and he said I don't know my grandson picked it up some where he saw that it was shaped very much like a human skull so he brough to my office and left and you are the first person that has ever thought it had any value its been here several years so I got him to let me take it to a geologist and the geologist said that he had never seen anything just like it he thinks its a metorite and advised me to send a chip off of it to some one dealing in metoers and find out if it were one so I am mailing you a chip off of it Respt yours J. A. Shelby Lake Victor. P.S. The rock weighs 4 lbs. 4 ozs
