Hello list,
Not sure how far I will get into this series...as it is quite long, but I will post at least some selected letters of Harvey Nininger and the Smithsonian. In this series, Nininger corresponds with E. Henderson, assistant curator at the museum is pretty much head of the meteorites, both in trade and study. Henderson is somewhat new to this position as Nininger corresponded with someone else....George Merril?....not long before the letters start. You might remember Perry bringing his name up quite a bit in the Perry - Nininger letters previously posted.

Mr. E.P. Henderson U.S. National Museum Washington, D.C.
Dear Friend:
I wish you could see if it will be possible for me to obtain a copy of the paper entitled "Fossil Disposition of Some American Collections of Minerals" by Canfield. I cannot find where it is for distribution, Please do not allow this request to become a burden, I think perhaps one of the offices in the museum will be able to furnish the information, however.
Some while ago you asked if I had heard of a meteorite fall at Pueblo, Colo. After some inquiry I have gotten track of the fall and am going to make a search. In case of any results the I.S. National museum will come in for a share. The locality is not a very favorable one, however.
I hope you are well. Mrs. Nininger joins me in sending our good wishes.
Yours friend,
