Dear Colin:

    Thank you very much for your letter of March 8, 1977. We were glad to hear that you found our suggested exchange a fair one.

    Not much of the Louisville meteorite has been recovered to date. Four specimens in all: ~1 kg, 190 g, and two at about 30 g. None of the material belongs to us, although we are working on it. If you had need for a small amount for research purposes, I might arrange to get it for you. A straight exchange is out of the question at this time.

    With best regards.

                                  Sincerely,

                                  Roy S. Clarke, Jr.
