Letters Sent to S.C. Lind, December 19, 1930

December 19,1930. Dr. S. C. Lind, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn. Dear Dr. Lind: The status of the Metz and Tuck cases vs. United States Radium Corp., trial date of which has been set for January 5,1931, is as follows: Negotiations are under way for settling the Tuck case, and we don't believe but that this will go thru prior to trial - as I previously advised you we consider this a legitimate radium case. The Metz case, however, we do not feel to be a radium case, and we have every intention at the moment of going to trial in this instance. We would like to have you available a3 an expert witness during the week of January 5th, but could probably arrange to take your testimony on either the 7th of January or the 8th, probably the 7th. Under these conditions you would have to be available on these two days only. We recognize the inconvenience that night arise should you make arrangements to testify on this date, and at the last moment postponement of the trial would arise - a matter which might be entirely beyond our control. We are therefore willing to make a definite arrangement with you for thèse dates, and in the event the case is either settled or postponed we would be glad to honor your bill for professional services in such amount as you would deem equitable. I trust that you will be available under these con- ditions. With kind regords, I em Sincerely yours, HHBarker:RH Vice President.
