Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, August 27, 1934

August 27, 1934. Dr. Herman Schlundt, Room 110, New Chemistry Bldg., Columbia, Missouri. Dear Dr. Schlundt: According to present information that we have, we shall go to trial in the LaPorte case on September 17th, the date originally set. Mr. Enmerglick has been anxious to get this thing going, and I doubt if there will be mich that we can do to delay matters any longer. Should conditions have changed at the University of Missouri, whereby it will be possible for you to come on for even one day, Tre wish that you would so advise us. I thought that you might possibly get away so that you could be here Friday or possibly Saturday of the week of trial and return to Columbia the following Monday. In case it is out of the question for you to do this, we shall try and arrange to have your testimony taken at some later date when it will be possible for you to come on to New York. This, how- ever, we do not look upon as favorable a procedure as to have you present at the trial. I learned during the week end that the Mardens have purchased a farm at Chester, N.J. are are spending the summer there. That is undoubtedly the reason why we had the report that their telephone had been disconnected. I believe there is an old house on the place and they have been spending part of their time rehabilitating same. I do not know whethor their objective is to ultimately use this place as a permanent domicile, or just a summer place. I trust that you had a pleasant trip out west and feel quite refreshed as a result of your vacation. With kind regards, Sincerely yours, HHBarker:DK Vice-President
