I am taking the earliest opportunity of conveying my sincere thanks to Mrs. Fredriksson and yourself for the excellent lunch (Part^[[l]]y Indian) and all help and courtesies extended to us. I have already written to Mr. Challinor thanking him for the lunch. I would also like to thank your friend, Mr. Joseph Nelan (Joe) for the ride from airport and for his enjoyable company on the evening of our arrival in Washington. I have conveyed to Dr. MVN Murthy and A. Dube as to how our paper was received at the session in Montreal and about the future programme of work. I am glad to inform you that I now have the clearance from all concerned to reproduce the air photo of the Lonar Lake. Copies are being made. I shall mail them very soon. About the colour photo on Lonar some more editing is necessary. On completion I shall write to you so that it can be made into a talkie as well. With best wishes, Yours sincerely, ^[[MS.Balasundaram]] (M.S. Balasundaram) Dr. Kurt Fredriksson Curator Meteorite Division Smithsonian Institution Washington D.C. 20560 U.S.A.
