May 27th,1931.
Dr. Herman Schlundt,
University of Missouri,
Columbia, No.
Dear Dr. Schlundt:
I am herewith enclosing a letter which we
received the other day, and a type of letter which we do not
make any reply to.
It occurs to us that you might be interested
in writing these people stating that you understand they are
interested in a source of supply of radioactive luminous materials.
It would be advisable not to use the name of the United States
Radium Corporation in your communications with these people.
In your first letter you probably could get some
information from them relative to the grade of material which they
use and the price which they pay. Their letter does not give
sufficient information to quote them intelligently on this
product. If you can succeed in finding an outlet for 75 to 100
grams of material per month, we can probably arrange to obtain
the sine sulphide for you.
You will doubtless be interested in an article
occurring in the May 23rd, issue of the Journal of the Anerican
Medical Association. The article is on the elimination of
radium salts from the human body, by Dr. Flinn.
This entire
uasue is of interest in as mach as it is the Radiologie number.
We have an appointment with Dr. Leake at four
o'clock this afternoon, at which time we are going to discuss
the forthcoming report by the Dept. of Public Health. I shall
let you know how we make out.
Very truly yours,
H/IBarker:R
