UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI COLUMBIA MAR 1929 DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY March 8, 1929 Mr. H. H. Barker United States Rgdium Corporation 535 Pearl Street New York, New York My dear Howard: We are enclosing herewith a copy of the re- port which is going forward today to Messrs. Edwards & Smith. If you have any suggestions for changes in this report, please be kind enough to favor us with them. I have just about caught up by this time upon back work which accumulated during the two weeks that I was away. I have also given my classes a mid-semester exami- nation and I am pleased to report that the blue books have all been graded. Moreover, I did all the grading myself. I am thus ready to engage in a new battle, but this time I am re- minded that the samples of residue which Dr. Turner forwarded have not yet been touched. I am awaiting directions from the Commission. Please tell Mrs. Barker that I saw her friend, Mrs. Hetzler, at a picture show the other evening and I took the liberty to extend to her Mrs. Barker's good wishes and congratulations. We had a visit from Mr. Skjer yesterday and I learned more about the history of radium poisoning cases in the four or five hours which he spent in my office than I have heard in all the years before. He seems to be an encyclopedia of knowledge on fatalities from radium poisoning. We received no suggestions from him about improving our experimental condi- tions, nor did he consider that we had any suspicious cases. Wishing you well, I remain Sincerely yours, Herman Schlundt Herman Schlundt. HS cb
