Letter from J. Ralph Jackson to Oscar Monnig
No full textLetter from J. Ralph Jackson to Oscar Monnig about the meteorite properties.Box 433, Holliday, Tex, March 16, 1964 Dear Monnig: After finding that opening in the canyon at the road, I know we were in the right one. And after going west of pond & coming back to it from the West, it looked better. I couldn't understand not being able to see the peak on pointed Hill at the Pipeline But it was probably in ? around the next bend. We nearly worked from the high hill back East and approached the pond from the west. I would like to have taken you to the high hill & then worked East. But I just couldn't make the hike. And then I could have shown you plenty of scrap fossils But you know the layout well enough to make it if you ever desire to do so. I don't think the walk hurt me any. Sincerely JR Jackso

July 19, 1960 Dear Monnig: I am in receipt of your letter & card concerning the meteorite speciment del. to you by Mrs. Pridemone. I found it in Rattle Snake Canyon, 10 miles SW of Holliday in Archer Co. about 10 years ago. I had intended mailing it to you & when I found out my Sister knew your wife I asked her to deliver it to you. Dr. A. S. Romer and Stan Olsen, paleontologists from Harvard Univ. and I were hunting fossilized remains of Dimetredon. I noticed this object & picked it up. Dr. Romer said he believed it to be a meteorite. I tested it with compas & it had a strong magnetic pull. This canyon has some very fine fossil beds & has been worked for years. Dr. Romer has taken 11 or 12 skeletons from one pit. He has worked this country for 30 years or more. I have spent lots of time with him. I am interested in all the general or natural sciences. Will be glad to help you in any way. Sincerely J R Jackso

Letter from J. Ralph Jackson to Oscar Monnig
No full textLetter from J. Ralph Jackson to Oscar Monnig with information and questions on the meteorite.Box 36, Holliday Tex July 30, 1960 Dear Mr Monnig: I am returning the map location marked where the fragment was found. I drove down Highway 25 to where it intersects farm to market Rd 368 but it was too hot to walk down to location. You will come from Archer City on Highway 25 to where it intersects 368. Turn right on 368 to producing oil lease - about 1 1/2 or 2 miles. You can probably turn right through lease to oil pipeline which runs N & S through Canyon or you could continue on 368 to where it crosses pipeline. Turn right (south) on pipeline to where the pipeline enters teh canyon. The last time I was there you couldn't drive a car down into the canyon but had to walk about 3/4 mile to where I have marked a mk. on E. side of pipeline. This abrupt little hill is made up of heavy stratta of rock & the only hill there. We always used it as a point to locate any fossil bed we intended to return to. From this hill you will go East - down canyon - for about 1/4 mile where there is an old stock tank on the south. I picked up the fragment about 100 yards west & possibly a little South of stock tank. There is a way of going from here & coming in on the high point i have checked on map but it would be impossible to mark this on map. If you ever want to go to location I shall gladly go with you. Just let me know a few days before you intend to come up. If there is anything I can do to help you I will gladly do so Sincerely JR Jackso
