Letters Sent to Dr. R.B. Moore, June 13, 1929

June 13th, 1929. Mr. R. B. Moore, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind. Dear Dr. Moore: Mrs. Barker and I are sailing on June 23th, for a few wecks vacation in Europe. We expect to be in Paris during the first part of August and, I would very much like to have the pleasure of a short visit with Madam Curie. I understand that the number of visitors wishing to see Madam Curie is large and, for this reason she has found it necessary to refuse to interview any except those with whom she may have an engagement. I an, therefore, wondering if a letter or note from you, which I might carry to Madam Curie, or a letter from you directly to Madam Curie, would enable ne to see her in the event that she is in Paria while I am there. If this is not ask- ing too much and you think it advisable, I assure you that I will appreciate your assistance. We are looking forward to our trip with considerable anticipation, for it is the first time that either one of us has been across. With kind regards to Mrs. Moore and yourself, I am Sincerely yours, HHBarker: RH
