    "ocrText": "UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI\nCOLUMBIA\nNOV 12 1928\nDEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY\nNovember 9, 1928\nMr. H. H. Barker\nUnited States Radium Corporation\n535 Pearl Street\nNew York City\nMy dear Barker:\nYour letter of November 7 has just come to hand.\nI note that you suggest Wednesday as the probable day on which we are\nto begin the measurements. I am writing to urge you to make arrange-\nments for these measurements as early as possible of the week of Novem-\nber 19. My reason for this request I will briefly state. In the\nfirst place, I expect to be away from Columbia the major part of next\nweek from Monday until Thursday evening. My address will be c/o\nKansas City Athletic Club, Kansas City, Missouri. I shall be home on\nFriday and leave then on Saturday for New York arriving there on Sunday\nand I hope that I can get to work on the measurements the next day or\nTuesday at the latest, for I am planning to be back home in Columbia\non Friday, November 23. On Saturday, November 24, we have our annual\nHomecoming. it is the date of the closing football game of the season\nwith Kansas which will be played here in Columbia. The football event,\nhowever, is a matter of secondary importance. The primary cause for\na speedy return to Columbia is the fact that I am scheduled to leave\nfor Southeast Missouri on a four days trip. We expect to leave Sat-\nurday, November 24, immediately after the football game. When you look\nover this entire schedule, you will see that I am trying to arrange\nmy time so that I shall make my appearance in Columbia at least for a\nday or two each week during the next three weeks. I must do my best\nto keep in touch with my class work which is pretty heavy this semester.\nI have given you these details so that you will realize how full my\nschedule of outside University duties really is. I may add\nthat\nour\nSection of the American Chemical Society meets Thursday evening, Nov-\nember 15, of next week and the speaker of the evening will be Professor\nW. A. Noyes of the University of Illinois and former president of the\nSocietyl I have asked him to be my guest during his stay here in\nColumbia.\nWith very kind regards, I remain\nVery sincerely yours,\nHerman Schlundt\nHerman Schlundt.\nHS\nC\nb"
