Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, October 11, 1928

October 11th, 1928. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: I have had an opportunity to discuss our paper with Dr. Flinn since I last wrote you, and while our discussion was very satisfactory, still I doubt whether Dr. Flinn has any constructive criticism to offer, at any rate he did not mention same during our discussion. In going over the manuscript submitted, there are one or two additional points which have come to my attention: In table 1, on page 3, I am unable to identify subject "D", neither does Dr. Flinn recall where this data came from.

The section dealing with the scintillation method and analysis of excretia is equally as important from the standpoint of a complete survey of the subject, but not as important at the moment in view of electro- scopic examinations to be made on the girls who claim to be suffering from "radium poisoning". Under these circumstances I am wondering if it might not be a good move not to delay publication until the contemplated experiments regarding the scintillation method and analysis of excretia are made, but to reserve this for a further paper? I merely offer this su gestion for your consideration. I had quite a discussion with Dr. Fialla on Tureday of this week, regarding his proposed tests on the complain- ants in the recent action. I might say that I submitted to Dr. Craver three copies of our report, suggesting that he transmit one
