[meteorite-list] Nininger to Smithsonian Letter, March 10, 1933

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello list,

Not sure how far I will get into this series...as it is quite long, but I 
will post at least some selected letters of Harvey Nininger and the 
Smithsonian.  In this series, Nininger corresponds with E. Henderson, 
assistant curator at the museum is pretty much head of the meteorites, both 
in trade and study.  Henderson is somewhat new to this position as Nininger 
corresponded with someone else....George Merril?....not long before the 
letters start.  You might remember Perry bringing his name up quite a bit in 
the Perry - Nininger letters previously posted.

Dear Friend:

                I wish you could see if it will be possible for me to obtain 
a copy of the paper entitled "Fossil Disposition of Some American 
Collections of Minerals" by Canfield.  I cannot find where it is for 
distribution, Please do not allow this request to become a burden, I think 
perhaps one of the offices in the museum will be able to furnish the 
information, however.

                Some while ago you asked if I had heard of a meteorite fall 
at Pueblo, Colo.  After some inquiry I have gotten track of the fall and am 
going to make a search.  In case of any results the I.S. National museum 
will come in for a share.  The locality is not a very favorable one, 
however.

                I hope you are well. Mrs. Nininger joins me in sending our 
good wishes.

Yours friend,
      (signed)
