My dear Howard:
I got back from Michigan this morning early and have resumed
my university duties.
While up in the Michigan woods, I spent nearly all the time
roaming about the woods and the lake shore. and I did not even transcribe the notes
of the laboratory experiments which Dr. Flynn and I did during the last week;
but must say that a week in Michigan was a wonderful recreation. True, I was a
sort of a recluse but I just enjoyed the outing.
Before many years you and Mrs. Barker will want a summer place
to visit for your vacation and I am sure you will find this place in Michigan a
wonderful one for rest and recreation. From the golf course you can see both
Crystal Lake and Lake Michigan. A hundred foot front lot will cost you $1800
and the cottage must cost about two and a half to three times the value of the
lot, but this will include membership in the Country Club with all the rights and
privileges pertaining thereto.
When I wrote you from Michigan suggesting
the experiments,
I do not know whether I mentioned what I had in mind about making the radium
determinations, I had in mind that you would send me the samples and that I would
make the determinations of their radium content as my part of the work.
Within the next few days I shall count up how much money I
have left deducting the expenses of my Michigan trip and will then render you a
more or less complete statement. I shall also write a few words to Dr. Flynn
regarding these proposed experiments and I will enclose a copy of the letter
herewith.
With very kind personal regards to both you and Mrs. Barker,
I remain
Very sincerely yours,
