H. Perry Adrian, Michigan Dear Friend Perry: I am enclosing some of my recently discovered metallic droplets which we = take from the soil magnetically here around the big crater. You may have these if, in return, you will furnish me some photomicrograp= hs of them, with your idea as my very definite opinion that they are cond= ensation products. These are proving the most important find that I have made for many years= They are in great abundance but are so mixed up with so much magnetic "= junk" that a small group like this I am sending represents a half day's w= ork. They are mounted in selectron plastic. Sincerely, (signed) H.H. Nininger HHN: AN P. S. We finally finished up the attempt to secure the Peruvian meteorite= and came up with a little piece about 1 1/2" in diameter weighing 108 gr= ams. The poor fellow was unable to get the specimen out of the country be= cause of religious prejudice and legal interference. He was near being im= prisoned. The whole story will be written for publication.
