May 7th, 1928.
Dr. Herman Schlundt,
Department of Chemistry,
University of Missouri,
Columbia, Mo.
Dear Dr. Schlundt:
I had occasion to open the package sent you to the
Chemists Club, containing 3 small tubes of radium, this morning, and
found the letter attached enclosed. I instructed our messenger to
take this letter along with the package to be delivered to you, and
evidently the letter was enclosed in the package, rather than being
delivered separatdy. I certainly regret this incident and trust
that the information contained in the letter did not seriously incon-
veniènne you by not being received.
The stop watch arrived in first class condition.
With reference to the inquiry in your letter of
April 30th, as to whether or not Mrs. Hughes conducted her tests on
normal persons, as well as the 5 complainants: I am of the opinion
that she did conduct such tests - However, I am not able to state
whether she did this daily or whether she made one blank test, and let
that suffice as a basis for proceeding with the rest of her work.
I believe that Mrs. Hughes spent at least one day if not longer with
each of the plaintiffs. We hope that we will be able to get her
note book or a transcript of same for our study prior to the contin-
uance of the trial.
Your letter of May 5th, enclosing copies of the three
reports you have prepared in connection with your trip east, has just
come to my attention, and at the present I am not prepared to discuss
it in any detail with you, but on first appearance it certainly seems
to be very complete and quite to the point.
I shall be interested in continuing such experiments
as you suggest to round out this investigation.
I shall write you later after I have had time to read
and study your reports more carefully.
Was sorry to learn that you were disappointed in not
seeing Jude at Swathmore, and I also realize that he was equally as
much disappointed in not seeing you.
With kind regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
HHBarker:RH
Vice President.
