June 6th, 1928.
Dr. Herman Schlundt,
University of Missouri,
Room 110 New Chemistry Bldg.,
Columbia, Mo.
Dear Dr. Schlundt:
In going through my desk I come across the
reports which you sent us after your trip to New York, and it
occurs to me that it would be a very wise move on our part to
put on record data relative to the sensitiveness of the tests
as conducted by you and Dr. Flinn. This may be very valuable
at a future time, for we are not at all assured that we may
not yet have to fight this matter out in Court.
It seems to me as though the principal
points of your notes entitled # Experimental Determination
of the Radium Present in Living Persons ", and "Miscellaneous
Experiments Conducted in Dr. Flinn's Laboratory April 25th,1928",
with some amplification could be incorporated into a very
creditable publication.
I am going to discuss this matter
with Dr. Flinn the first time I see him, and in the meantime
would be glad to have you give the matter consideration, and
advice as to any ideas you may have regarding same.
The opposition were apparently somewhat
alarmed at the fact that our tests were negative for we had
rumors that they had devised new and more sensitive tests than
those originally reported. These tests were supposed to have
been conducted unknown to anyone, but as most all other informa-
tion became public property in this case, so did this. We were
advised that their tests consisted of placing a zinc sulphide
screen in such a manner ae that the expired air came in contact
with same. The report current is to the effect that there were
continuous flashes produced under these conditions. This test
rather appeals to me as being quite logical and one which we
should investigate the merits of.
with kind regards, I am
Cordially yours,
