Letters Received to H.H. Barker, April 2, 1930

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI APR 4 1930 COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY April 2, 1930 Dr. H. H. . Barker U. S. Radium Corporation 535 Pearl St. New York City, N.Y. My dear Harold: Thank you for forwarding the telegram of Miss Dover, and I also thank you for the sugges- tions regarding the paper with Dr. Failla. I have received a letter from Dr. Failla suggesting that we defer publication until he himself has had time to calibrate the government instrument; that is, ,the instrument you have loandd the U. S. Public Health Service. He proposes to calibrate this instrument by inserting a number of "seeds" in a cadaver. By thus getting a more precise constant for the government instrument, we shall be in a position to revise the constant of the old Wulf-Hess instrument which Dr. Failla and I used in measuring the activity of Miss Freyer and Mrs. Hussmann. Within the next few days, I shall see Dean Tisdel with a view of securing leave of absence for a few days beginning April 22nd. If the trial had been set for the week previous there would probably have been no difficulty, as we have a short Easter recess from the 17th to the 2lst. With very good wishes, I remain Yours very sincerely, Hermon Schlundt Herman Schlundt. HS/GMA.
