July 10th, 1931.
Dr. Herman Schlundt,
Columbia,
Mo.
Dear Dr. Schlundt:
Inasmuch as we do not subscribe regularly to the
American Journal of Roentgenology and Redium Therapy, I trust that you
will send us some of the reprints of the article by you and Dr. Fialla,
which is to appear in the near future, as soon as you receive them.
In the meantime I shall endeavor to look over a copy of the August issue
to see if the article appears.
I am glad to be able to tell you that five (5) of the
14 or 15 claims made in the patent application filed by you in 1929,
relative to the application of freshly prepared luminous material, have
been granted. Our attorneys have filed amendments to the other claims,
and suggest that the best thing to do now, inasmuch as the Patent Office
has intimated that they are going to grant the five claims, is to let
the Patent Office take its time in deciding upon the allowance of the
other claims. As you know these claims all read so similar that if you
get 4 or 5 granted, you have practically covered the subject.
Mrs. La Porte first became aware of the fact that she was
suffering from redium poisoning in October or November of 1930, in fact
up to that time her health had been practically normal, but from her first
symptoms her case progressed rather rapidly, and as you know she died this
June. Her case was called to our attention only a few weeks before she
passed away, and her condition at that time was such that it precluded
our making either a physical or electroscopic examination. Dr. Martland
preformed the autopsy and definitely classed the case as one due to
radium poisoning on the death certificate. Mrs. LaPorte's husband has
approached us regarding settlement, but to date nothing has been accom-
plished.
With kind regards, I am
merely yours,
HHBarker:RH
Vice President.
