August 23rd,1929. Dr. Herman Sculundt, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: I am herewith returning your letter from Zach Walter, having today written advising him that we shall not make any additions to our staff at this time. I should like to have Walter with us, but do not feel that the present outlook of the radium situation justifies taking on a man of his calibor. We arrived home on Monday of this week, after a most delightful trip and, both lrs. Barker and myself find it rather difficult to get back to the routine duties which must be preformed. There are several things that we have in mind which I shall write you about within the next few days. Sincerely yours, Vice President. HHBarker:RH enclosure
