Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, December 7, 1931

December 7th,1931. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: I have your letter of December 2nd, with reference to exemination of patients at Elgin State Hospital. Our general financial condition, as well as the fact that Nr. Lee spenda the Holiday season with his family in Florida, I am afraid will preclude my participating in the tests to be conducted at Elgin. I have today written Mr. Armstrong, as per copy of letter attached which is quite self-explanatory, and I presume that lir. Armstrong will communicate directly with you regarding the dates you have suggested. While we have several emanation chambers which are usable for our work, still I presume their natural leake is higher than those which you have, and in fact so high that I would consider them wholly unusable for work such as will be conducted at Eigin. I think Dr. Flinn has some good instruments, but I hesitate to ask him for the loan of same. You will probably be able to determine better as to how much equipment you will need when Mr. Armstrong advises you as to the number of people who are to be tested. 2: Armstrong is quite upset over Dr. Martland's article, and feels that this article is slowing up the use of radium internally materially, and is anxious that some complete data be obtained on the Elgin group, with the hope that same may moredefinitely establish the merits of radium internally. Sincerely yours, Vice President. HHBarker:
