March 27th,1929.
Dr. Herman Schlundt,
University of Missouri,
Columbia, Mo.
Dear Dr. Schlundt:
This will acknowledge receipt of your
letter of March 25th, enclosing report of radio-active test
on Mrs. Canfield.
We have been unable to calibrate ionization
chambers Nos. 6 and 7 to date. On Monday March 18th, Dr. Flinn
called early, and asked whether we could deliver the instruments
to his laboratory, as he had two patients there to be examined.
He made other examinations during last week, and the forepart of
this week, and expects to examine the employees of the New Haven
Clock Company next week. It, therefore, looks as though it
will be a matter of two weeks before we can attempt this work.
I have heard nothing from the Committee as to
the progress in the examination of the excreta of Mrs. Hussman
and Miss Fryer, but presume that they appreciate that these things
cannot be given your undivided attention.
You doubtless have read in the papers about the
death of Mrs. Cardow of Waterbury, Conn., who at one time was
employed by the Waterbury Clock Company. This girl was first
examined by Dr. Flinn during the week of March 11th, and her con-
dition at that time was considered critical. She contained some-
where between 70 and 100 micrograms of radium element, according
to Dr. Flinn's estimate.
Matters pretaining to the litigation at hand are
very quiet for the moment, but expect renewed activity at any time.
With kind regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Vice President.
