UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY JAN 1 1930 MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE OF THE DEAN December 31, 1929 Mr. Howard H. Barker, U. S. Radium Corporation, 535 Pearl Street, New York City Dear Barker: I was in Des Moines when your wire of December 27 arrived which explains my delay in replying. I cannot be certain about February 17 as I have some negotiations under way with several western Sections of the A.C.S. for a lecture trip about that time. It looks as if the plan would go through and I would there- fore not be able to come in February. As I wired you yesterday, I could come to New York from Washington for a preliminary conference on Jan. 17, if you so desire. This would be agreeable to me as I would like to know the kind of points which are involved in the present suit and to decide whether I could be of any assistance. I will be east again in March, that is, as far east as Rochester, New York, and could come on either in the week-end of March 13 to 15, or could be available March 19 to 22 in the following week as my last lecture is at Buffalo the night of Tuesday the 18th. In May I have the entire week full, from Monday May 12 to Saturday the 17th. If I came on in connection with this trip, it would have to be in the latter half of the preceding week, May 7 to 9, or in the first half of the following week, May 19 to 21. I may go to the meeting of the A.C.S. in Atlanta, April 7 to 11, and could arrange to come through New York either going or returning. If you wish me to come to New York on January 17, please let me know as soon as possible as I may wish to make other arrangements, if you do not. With best regards, Sincerely yours, s C find S. C. Lind, SCL/CS Director.
