Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, October 31, 1928

October 31,1928. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Room 110 New Chemistry Bldg., Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: On Saturday I discussed the matter of arranging a satisfac- tory date for the electroscopic examination of the five girls, with Dr. Craver and Dr. Fialla, after which I wired you that the examinations would probably take place during the week of November 19th. This arrangement was made contingent upon discussing the matter with Dr. Ewing on Monday of this week. I have now talked with Dr. Craver and he advises that it would be quite satisfactory to Dr. Ewing to have you present. He recommends that the examinations be conducted during the week of November 19th, - however, he states that if it is absolutely impossible for you to be here at that time, he would, of course probably concede to a postponement, but felt that in view of the unfavorable delays that have already taken place that the matter should be carried to a conclusion at the very earliest possible moment. I quite agree with Dr. Carver's attitude in this matter, and while I appreciate that tt would probably be more convenient for you to come here during Thanksgiving week, still at the same time this is a bad time to undertake any scientific work as it is a holiday period, and a number of men make plans which would probably interfore with the work. As I understand it Dr. Ewing personally wishes to be present at these tests, and they are going to extend the privilege of a guest to be selected by the opposition to be present also. There is an added reason why I believe you might find it enjoyable to be here during the week of November 19th, and that is the Missouri and New York University football game which takes place in New York City on November 17th. There will undoubtedly be a large number of Missouri people coming on to New York at that time, and you might join them. Jude & Jess expect to be with us Saturday and Sunday, November 17th and 18th, and we would most certainly enjoy having you present also. I am sure that the Underwoods would be more than pleased to see you too. Please let me hear from you at your earliest convenience with regard to this suggested program. Sincerely yours, HHBarker:RH Dictated but not read.
