[Bonetools] astragali

[Alice Choyke]

Dear Gun-Britt,
      The entire Nagy article is in Hungarian and I only have a copy in Word
format (Margit gave it to me in this form). However, I will see if I cannot
get a xerox copy to scan next time I am at the museum. It is the year book
of the Zalai county museums. If you don't hear from me soon write me a
letter to remind me!

Best,
Alice
