Dear Dr. Jones,

      I notice in the recently-published appendix to the British Museum Catalogue of Meteorites that your department has an undescribed howardite named Muckera. I am preparing a review article on eucrites and howardites, and would like to examine as many of them as possible. If you can send me a small piece of Muckera, sufficient for a thin section, I shall be most grateful.

      What plans do you have for the description of this meteorite? If it has not been chemically analysed, we would be willing to do this in our laboratory.

      With best regards.
                               Sincerely yours,

                               Brian Mason
