December 9th, 1929 Dr. Frederick B. Flinn, College of Physicians & Surgeons, Columbia University, New York City, N. Y. Dear Dr. Plinn: In a recent letter from Mr. Barker, he speaks of some points of criticisms whioh you have suggested, with reference to the paper on the elimination of radium from living persons. I have given some consideration to this matter, and wish to make a fow suggestions which I hope my help in making un adjustment for publication. Pernans you may feel that the time has not como for pub- lishing these results, and that you would like to socure further experimental data on subjects which are access- ible to you in New York Citye It, therefore, seems to me that it may be of mutual advantage to us to publish war results independently, instead of jointly, I sim- ply wish to add that such a plan is entirely agroeable to me, and I hope that you will be good enough to tell me just how you feel about the matter, for I wish to maintain the same spirit of friendliness and frankmess which has prevailed in all our investigations. It is, of course, a little unfortunate that you, Mr. in Barket, and myself cannot have little conference about this matter, but I hope that we can come to a conclusion by simple correspondence. With very good wishes, I remain Sincerely yours, HS:RA Herman Schlundt
