June 8,1928. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Room 110 New Chemistry Bldg., Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: Mr. Lee and I had luncheon with Dr. Flinn, and in discussing our various problems it seemed to us all that it would be very desirable to complete the experiments with regard to establish- ing the sensitiveness of electroscopic determinations on human beings, and in this connection we were wondering if you would care to come to New York for two weeks, or such a matter, to complete these experiments. Dr. Flinn has suggested introducing radium intraven- ously into dogs, and then making determinations to establish the accuracy of the different methods. Dr. Flinn has planned on taking his vacation some time during July or August, but states that in case you would care to come on for a fewweeks he would be glad to alter his vacation plans to meet with any you mi ght have. This work would undoubtedly furnish the material for a very creditable publication, and we hope that you will feel suffic- iently interested to justify your giving it the required time. The United States Radium Corporation is interested in establishing this data, and in this connection we would be willing to pay your expenses in connection with the investigation. Will you kindly give this your consideration, and advise us at your earliest convenience so that Dr. Flinn may proceed with his plans? In the event that you are able to come on please set the date as soon as you can so that we may have everything in readiness to proceed with the experiments at once. Sincerely yours, Vice President.
