May 1st,1930. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of "issouri, Columbia, No. Dear Dr. Schlundt: As I advised you some time ago the manuscript covering the work done on Dr. John's patients was sent to the American Journal of loentgenology on February 5th, but to date I have not heard from them as to whether or not they find this article suitable for publication. I am meking inquiry as to their disposition in the matter, and in the event they do not publish it in the near future, I shall endeavor to have same published elsewhere. I wonder if you could give Le roughly the amounts of mesothorium which the Welsbach people have in process, as well as stock which has not yet reached the tio year period - also whether Dr. Miner has indicated to you what part or portion of the aged material which they had on hand has been disposed of. For various reasons I do not eare to take this matter up directly with Dr. Miner at this time, and can assure you that any information iven ne will be treated strictly con- fidential. What progness is Breckenridge making with the reclaining of the radium from the aine residues? We hope to have an additional lot of this material ready for shipment within the next fow days. Very truly yours, Vice President. HHBarker:RH
