Letters Received to H.H. Barker, July 23, 1930

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY July 23, 1930 Mr. H. H. Barker U. S. Radium Corporation 535 Pearl St. New York City 086197 nor Dear Mr. Barker: Soon after you left on Saturday I went home and have not been back in the office until yesterday. I succeeded in keeping up a pretty fair competition internally with the external temperature which ranged from 100 to 103 here in Columbia, but I had the advantage over nature in maintaining a far greater uniformity. I am quite normal again and shall go on with my work but this enforced vacation has delayed my work a little, and I am hoping you can arrange the dates of the trip to New York for the week beginning Monday August 4th, so that I can spend Monday in Chicago, and be on hand in New York Tuesday and ready for work on Wednesday. It may interest you to know that while my temperature was highest, I was functioning as service man in a gas station selling gas very fast, but I was unable to figure the price which put me in great distress. The price was expressed as an exponential function which it was not possible for me to handle. The resulting perspiration finally broke the fever, but it is a little easier to walk around now for I have about 10 pounds less to carry. Enclosed is a letter which was nis-carried. Yours very sincerely, Herman SachlundT Herman Schlundt. HS/GMA
