I should be glad to comply with your second proviso, namely, that I furni= sh you with a slice of the 209 lb. meteorite in case we get only samples = or none of the larger mass. In fact, I should have volunteered as much. B= ut only on the condition that you bear, not half, but all of the expense.= You see, as I figure it, our preliminary work of discovery together with= the time I shall be obliged to spend, and the very considerable risk to = health and limb are fully the equivalent of whatever cash outlay may have= to be made on the project. The work in that bleakest of American deserts= , in complete isolation from civilization, is going to be no picnic. Please accept this reply in the friendly spirit in which it is intended a= nd do not feel under any pressure whatever to participate. We shall be ab= le to handle it somehow. Cordially, (signed) H.H.
