My dear Barker:
Mr. Horace Thomas, the boy who is planning to
study the effects of radium on animals, was in this morning
to tell me that he was indeed obliged to you for sending the
compilation of literature. He is going over this carefully
and he thinks it will take him about a week longer. I hope
that you can spare the book for another week. He will be
ready to undertake experiments soon. The cages for the ani-
mals are now being made. I think he expects to start out
with experiments on rats. Naturally, some experiments must
first be conducted to get an orientation on the doses of ra-
dium to be administered. To begin with, then, I hope that
you will be good enough to send on about 20, 5-microgram am-
poules. We may wish to try some experiments with 1 and 2-
microgram ampoules, but I have some of those on hand from the
lot which we used in calibrating the gamma ray electroscope.
physiological saline or are they distilled water samples?
What I wish to ask is this: are these samples made up as the &2 ug,
My determinations of radium on the feces and
urine residues of the three girls are drawing to a close. I
have about fifteen more samples to boil off; SO within a week
you may expect a preliminary report, that is, if all goes well.
I assume, of course, that Craver and his associ-
ates in this experiment of radium elimination will wish to
publish these results. I trust that they will not take the
attitude once taken by Dr. Flinn, namely, that those who made
the radium determinations are simply serving as analysts and
are thus not entitled to any joint authorship.
Have you seen a new book by Rutherford, Chadwick
and Ellis, entitled, "The Radiations from Radioactive Substances"?
I hope you are pondering about the question of
attending the meeting at Indianapolis.
With very good wishes, I remain,
Yours sincerely,
Herman Schlundt
