April 26, 1926. Mr. B. S. Daniells, c/o Ingersoll Watch Co. Ltd., Ingersoll House, Kingsway, London, W. C. 2, England. Dear Mr. Daniells: The latest flare-up in the anti-radium propaganda is the one to which you refer in your letter of April 16th and certainly is king of them all for size, audacity, untruthful- ness, and meanness. Quite naturally it has been a source of distress to our company and to me personally, and if I thought there was a foundation of fact, things would be discouraging indeed. On the other hand, letters such as yours of the 16th, one recently received from Mr. Chase of Waterbury, and a number of others from our good friends, go a long ways to counteract the natural feeling of depression. Since writing you last on the situation, Dr. Flinn has been given access to the plants of the Radium Dial Company which will add to the data already collected examinations in various other application plants throughout the country. It will delay the final publication of his paper for a week or two, but I think will make it more valuable. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness in writing on April 16th. Cordially, ARoeder-HM
