Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, June 3, 1932

June 3rd,1932. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: With reference to your letter of May 30th, asking that we place at your disposal the two emanation electroscopies which Dr. Flinn has: - I must advise that these instruments are the proper- ty of Dr. Flinn and not ours. I have, therefore, not taken occasion to discuss the matter with Dr. Flinn inasmuch as you stated in your letter that you were addressing a communication directly to him at the time you weote me. I hope that Dr. Flinn will see fit to loan you these intruments. Glad to know that you are again going to measure the patients at the Elgin State Hospital who were given radium chloride internally, as with this second series of tests you should have some real basic date. I received your letter enclosing copy of comminica- tion addressed to Dr. Ewing, and I are in hopes that Dr. Ewing will take this matter up with Dr. McNéel in behalf of your cause. I presume that Dr. Ewing has acknowledged your letter stating his position in the matter. In one of your recent letters you enclosed a clipping from the Kansas City Star of May 10th, relating to a discussion of Sanford Withers before the A.M.A. in New Orleans, about the radium that is being produced by a Denver Company. This doubtless refers to the Shattuck Chemical Company. As you know we were negotiating with irr. Potter regording his production, but were unable to get together and I have, therefore, little or no knowledge as to the progress which they have made. Frankly I very much doubt whether they will be able to produce radium from Colorado ores at a price that will enable them to meet present prices for radium. This is especially true in these depressed times when they will doubtless experience difficulties in disposing of their by-products, urenium and vanad un. With kind regards, Iam Sincerely yours, hHBarker:RH
