February 26, 1935. Dr. S. C.Lind, University of Minneosta, Minneapolis, Minn. Dear Dr. Lind: I aust apologize for not having answered your lettor of January 14th before this. The principol point shich Mr. Emmer- glick endeavored to make with reference to your article on the " Solubility of Radiun Sulphate" was to the effect that radium sul- phate was not,as we had endesvored to put before the court, an entirely insoluble material.

My suggestion as to price la based on the fect that I know they are selling radium in rather snoll quantities at a price of $50. Thore has been considerable delay in the presentation of briefs to Judge Forman due to his request for a transcript of the testimony.
