    "ocrText": "January 31st,1929.\nDr. Herman Schlundt,\nUniversity of Missouri,\nColumbia, Mo.\nDear Dr. Schlundt:\nI had a conference with Dr. Ewing and Dr.\nFailla this morning, relative to continuing, or rather completing,\nthe examination of the five girls.\nDr. Ewing is quite willing that two of these cases\nshould be hospitalized, and such tests conducted on the girls, as\nwell as their excretia, as we deem advisable.\nDr. Failla will not be availablei Wednesday of\nnext week until Wednesday of the following week, that is February\n13th, and we have, therefore, tentatively set February 13th, as the\nday to start this work.\nThe girls will probably be confined to the Fifth\nAvenue Hospital, for as you recall we we did not think the Memorial\nsatisfactory for this type of work.\nI have advised Mr. Markley that we would like to\nhave the examination of Mrs. Canfield conducted sometime between\nFebruary 8th and the 12th, preferably on either the 11th or 12th,\nwhich will make it possible for you to complete this work in the\nshortest time.\nFrom my discussion with Dr. Failla I gather that he\nwill expect to conduct the emanation determination on the excretia\nwhile you are here. It seems to me that the instruments in the\npossession of Dr. Flinn will be satisfactory for this purpose. The\nonly thing that will be required will be a standard radium solution\nfor calibration of this instrument. I am in hopes that you have\navailable such a solution and can bring same with you, as you appre-\nciate any solution which we might prepare might not be satisfactry.\nI am advising you regarding this program so that\nyou can make any preparations necessary. I also told Dr. Ewing that\nI would let him know not later than Monday, February 4th, whether\nyou would be available on Feb. 13th, and therefore, wish you would\nreply to this letter either by wire or Air Mail.\nDr. Failla wishes to thank us for sending him the\nbook upon the subject of Mesothorium and Radium, copy of which you\napparently sent. I was not aware that one of these books had gone\nforward.\nSincerely yours,\nHHBarker:RH\nVice President."
