Oct. 18,1939. Rollin H. stevens, M.D., 1429 David Whiteney Bldg., Detroit, Mich. Dear Dr. Stevens: We have your letter of October 11th and regret that we are not in a position to undertake the changing over of your radium as desired. In 1926 we discontinued the sale of radium to Doctors and Hospitals for therapeutic purposes, and consequently dismanteled our facilities for re-tubing, servicing, etc. About the only concern in the United States, so far as we know. who would be able to do this work for you is the Radium Chemical Company, 570 Lexington Avenue, New York City. Our representative from Los Angeles was no doubt Kenneth B. Kirk, a very fine friend of ours, and I understand a most enthusiastic Rotarian. While Kirk is not directly connected with us, he has represented our con- cern on the Coast for a number of years in the handling of radium luminous compounds. Since he was not familiar with our lack of activity in the radium element field, he has been "guilty" of assuming that we could under- take a job for which we do not have the facilities. Trusting that you will be able to make the change-over in accordance with your wishes, we are, Very truly yours, CBLee:DK President
