UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY 0861 LE 700 July 29, 1930 Mr. H. H. Barker 535 Pearl Street U. S. Radium Corporation New York City My dear Howard: The temperature is hovering about the 108 mark on the thermometer today and I am not accomplishing anything particularly so I ex- pect to go on vacation next week unless there is some decided change in the weather. My family is already in Michigan, and while I shall n ot go there directly, I expect to spend a few weeks with them near Frankfort, Michigan. I shall probably go up. in the Ford, and can easily go through Springfield, Illinois to look after the paper. Perhaps you have had a satisfactory reply from the editor. Please advise whether you would like to have me stop at Springfield to interview the editor. Yours sincerely, Herman Schlundt Herman Schlundt. HS/GMA P.S. Since i have already heard from you concerning this matter, , I shall impose on you a few reflections on Radium and Mesothroium.
