Barker United States Radium Corporation 535 Pearl Street New York, New York My dear Barker: In accordance with your letter of September 16 I a.m today writing to Mrs. Hanford that we shall pur. - chase her supply of mesothorium. Probably a week or ten days will elapse before she will deliver this material and after I have completed the purchase I shall send you a bill for two-thirds of it to be reimbursed by you and Mr . Lee. I think we can afford to take a chance on this investment because it is not so very much.

" Do you know whether Mrs. Anna Stasi, 515 Morris Street, Orange, was ever tested for radioactivity? The notice does not say whether she was tested but simply goes on to say that the father of the deceased expects to get the three-year old daughter, Dolly, examined for radioactivity. With very good wishes, I remain Sincerely yours, Hermon Schlundt Herman Schlundt A student brought in the enclosed.
