UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY DEC 311928 MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE OF THE DEAN December 27, 1928 Mr. H. H. Barker, United States Radium Corporation, 535 Pearl Street, New York Dear Barker: Many thanks for your Christmas greetings. Allow me to wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year. I have just returned from spending the holidays in Kansas City. While there I noticed an article in two of the papers (identical in both) about the radium girls. I presume you have seen a copy. It appeared that they are all still enjoying good health and that some of them are now able to realize ambitions such as music, art, etc., but that one of them had unfortunately (or possibly fortunately) lost her husband through divorce on account of his having resigned from his job to spend all of his time getting rid of the money which she got; so there seems to be at least two sides to the situation. With best regards to yourself and Mr. Lee, Sincerely yours, s.b Lind S. C. Lind, Director. SCL/CS
