    "ocrText": "Sept. 18, 1931.\nDr. Herman Schlundt,\nUniversity of Missouri,\nColumbia, Mo.\nDear Dr. Schlundt:\nI have your letter of September 12th, advising as to the\nprogress which you have made relative to the concentration of carnotite ore\netc. I trust that the School of Mines will cooperate with you in this work\nfor I believe there is quite an opportunity along this line.\nWhen you are ready for samples of ore we shall be glad to\nendeavor to cooperate with you in supplying same. When you make your request\nkindly advise as to the amount required for the test.\nFor your information I may say that my last evening with\nMr. Potter and trip out to the main road to meet you was not entirely without\nsome success. I talked pretty plainly and told Mr. Potter that we did have\nan interest in what he was doing under certain conditions, but that we believed\nthat those conditions precluded any possibility of cooperation. However, things\nhave taken quite a different turn since my return East, and it is quite probable\nthat we will find the Shattuck Chemical Co. ready to talk \"turkey\" on reasonable\nterms.\nI don't know as anything will come of these negotiations, but\nau least we are negotiating, and I shall advise you as to the final outcome of this\nwork. In the meantime we are going ahead as if there were no real potential\npossibilities along this line.\nI had occasion to talk with Dr. Martland this morning, and he\ninquired about you, and stated that he had received a letter some three months\nor so ago, asking for the specimens of bones of Mrs. La Porte. He asked me\nto advise you the next time I had occasion to write that he was using these\nbones to take photographs, and as soon as he had completed this work, which\nwould be in about two or three weeks time, that he would be glad to send you\n1/2 of the specimens which he has. He stated that he had considerable difficulty\nin getting an autopsy in this case, and he was limited as to the quantity as\nwell as variety of bones which he could take.\nDr. Martland's attitude was entirely friendly, and I am\nsure you can count upon these specimens in due course.\nSincerely yours,\nHHBarker:RH\nVice President."
