| Summary: | Letter to Mr. Monnig from Paul Walters on the discovery of meteorite fragments in Deport, Texas, December 9, 1977. Dear Mr. Monnig: I would like to thank you again for the article on the Antarctica meteorites.

I am glad that you were able to acquire some good county maps from your friend in ardmore. I have a piece of good news. Last Friday a week ago I decided to go o a field trip to hunt arrowheads near Paris, Texas. I decided to make a quick trip by Deport, Texas to see if any fragments had been found by anyone.
