LaPaz meteorite handwritten note

This 19.8 [crossed out and replaced by 59.3] gram piece of the achondrite that fell on 1948 Feb 18 is "atypical" only in that it is partially crusted. Of the smaller fragments not 1 in 100 have been found to retain any fusion encrustation. This piece was found on Bill Janeills farms in Rockbranch township, Norton Co Kansas, within a few raods [?] of the pond [?] where he made the initial discovery.
