COPY October 24, 1930 Professor Herman Schlundt Department of Chemistry University of Missouri Dear Professor Schlundt: In reply to your letter of October 21, I am sending a copy of a preliminary report on my work with germanium compounds. I hope within a few weeks to have a paper completed which will give results of the treatment of more than sixty cases of various kinds of anemia, twenty of these being of the perni- cious type. I shall send you a typewritten copy of this paper as soon as I am able to get it in shape. I have hoped for the opportunity to try the germanium compound on the anemia caused by radium and if you have access to such a case I shall be glad to send material and directions for its use. It must be administered with the full knowledge and coopera- tion of the physician in charge of the case--the reasons for this being obvious. However, we have re- ceived no report where the physician in charge believed any injury to have followed its use. We are working with animals depleted in various ways, in the attempt to learn how the german- ium compound reacts. We have a combination which is different from that used by Hammett, Nowrey, and others, whose publications are in the Johns Hopkins Bulletin for 1922-23, and we are working to show this difference chemically. This is altogether a large problem. I shall be glad to cooperate in any way on the radium problem. Sincerely yours, (Signed) Rosalie M. Parr RP:AD
