(Stuart Perry to Harvey Nininger letter, Perry's File copy) January 1, 1949 (It appears Perry wrote the wrong date, this should read January 1, 1950) Dear Nininger: I was glad to get your letter the other day stating the Peru iron is going forward, and hope it arrives by February which I think it should. The reason I name that time is that we are going home about February 7 and sail for Italy on February 21; so I am hoping that it arrives so we can at least talk about before I go. It is good to get another octahedrite from down there, as most of the irons from that region are hexahedrites and pretty much alike. I left the section of the furnace bolt with my man in Ann Arbor before leaving home, and in due time I expect he will send me the pictures. The etched surface shows a peculiar very large granulation which I never happen to have observed before in artificial iron. We are going to be gone about four months in Europe -- two months in Italy, then a while in France, and a month or more in England. My daughter and her husband will be with us and we are looking forward to a fine trip With all good wishes for the New Year, Sincerely, (Stuart Perry - name is missing as this is the file copy. The original sent to Nininger would have been signed by Perry)
