Letters Received to H.H. Barker, March 4, 1930

PURDUE UNIVERSITY LAFAYETTE, INDIANA SCHOOL OF SCIENCE OFFICE OF THE DEAN March 4, 1930 MAR 6 1930 Mr. H. H. Barker United States Radium Corporation 535 Pearl St. New York City My dear Barker: I have your letter of March 1 and note that I W ill not be needed before Wednesday, March 12 at any rate. I will plan to arrive in New York on the afternoon of March 11. As I will probably come through Washington, it will be necessary for you to let me know by the preceding Saturday at the latest concerning any changes in your plans in regards to a compromise. The only basis upon which I can get the University to allow me to get off for personal work of this kind is to do some work at the same time for the University while I am in the East. It is of course difficult to plan wuch engagements unless I know definitely what your own plans are, and after such engagements are made, it is difficult to suddenly cancel them. Therefore, we should be given reasonable notice of change of plans, or else personal arrangements with us should stand. With kind regards, Sincerely yours, nerm. me R. B. Moore Dean of Science RBM/LS
