(Stuart Perry to Harvey Nininger letter, Perry's File copy)
January 3, 1954
Dear Harvey,
Glad to get your letter, and a happy New Year to you and Mrs. Nininger.
Your offer of the two meteorites is tremendously interesting, though the money involved is a bit appalling. But I must admit the extraordinary interest and value of both of them. I am writing Ed to see how badly he wants them and as soon as I hear from him I will write you.
That must have been a very interesting meeting at Boston. Didn't you have a paper on nickel-free meteorites? If so, I should very much like to know what you said and what you know about it. I have always had a suspicion that there might be Ni-free meteorites, and I can see no reason in metallurgy which there should be iron with less than 6% Ni or none at all. Maybe we should not brush off some of those old analyses showing 3% or 2% nickel.
We have been now just two weeks, and it is pleasant as ever. Some pretty cold nights, but the daytime weather is just what we like.

With best regards,
Sincerely,
(Stuart Perry - name is missing as this is the file copy. The original sent to Nininger would have been signed by Perry)
