My dear Barker:
I arrived home on schedule time despite the heavy snow
storm through which we passed in going through the mountains in Pennsylvania.
I have not had time yet to resume normalcy. In due time, after my bill
from the Chemists' Club arrives, I shall send you a statement of my expense
account.
On my arrival home I discovered that I had carried your
stop watch with me and I shall send that back to you very soon. In the
course of the week I hope to find time to make a transcript of the experi-
ments which Dr. Flynn and I conducted and I shall also send you a copy of
the interpretation of some of these results, and the deductions we have made
from them. I believe that I told you that from our experimentslmade at
Naguatuck taken in conjunction with the previous work which you and Dr.
Flynn had carried out, we were able to show that not more than 11% of the
emanation produced by radium in a living subject is expelled with the ex-
pired air.
One question occurred to me on the way home with
reference to the experiments carried on by Mrs. Hughes on the expired air
of the five plaintiffs, and that is this: Do her notes include experiments
on expired air conducted on normal persons, that is non-radioactive persons,
that is, were blank experiments run? It would be very desireable for us
to have a copy of the entire experimental data obtained by Mrs. Hughes in
the course of her experiments, in order to make a careful analysis of the
results.
When I arrived at Swarthmore, I was disappointed not
to find Jude Underwood home. He is away for a week or two to install
an oxidation plant for ammonia near Pittsburg, but I had a very pleasant
evening with the youngsters and Mrs. Underwood.
I hope that you and Mr. Flynn will find time in the
near future to conduct a few more experiments on the expired air of Mrs.
Dumschoff at Waterbury.
With very good wishes, I remain
Sincerely yours,
Herman Schlundt
