lutely on whether radium is present or not. Again I don't know how much reliance you care to place on Schlundt and my work and whether you are convinced that we can detect smaller amounts of radium by our method than by theirs. One thing in discussing the delicacy of our work Dr Schlundt did not take into consideration is that we had the electroscope against the bones and there was very little chance for absorption as was the case when the ampules were placed in the vest pocket in front and the readings made at the back. Also the square of the distance is reduced. It was more like the five ampules under the arm which I think even Mrs Hughes acknowledged was very active. Will you please get my reprints from the lawyers also the autopsy report on M,SS Dunn's case which I gave to Dr Rector. I want to chart the blood pictures of all radium cases that I can find. Excuse spelling English etc in this note as I am typing as I think and there have been many interruptions. Y`urs truly
