Letters Received to H.H. Barker, April 26, 1932

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY Apr il 26th, 1932. Mr. H. H. Barker United States Radium Corporation 535 Pearl Street New York City APR 29 1932 My dear Barker: One of our radium girls, Miss Katherine Schaub, has made more progress in the world than I had ever anticipated she would. In the May Survey Graphic, p. 138, Miss Schaub writes about her experi- ences and states that she is now writing a, book. I am rather surprised that she has made such marked improvement in health. Do you see any way clear by means of which I could make a gamma ray measurement on Miss Fryer, Mrs. Hussman, and Mrs. Larice, the three girls that we hospitalized about a year ago and collected excreta which I later analyzed for radium content. I refer to the work of Dr. Craver and my- self; I have withhold publication of these results because I have no data on the amount of radium these girls now retain in their systems. With very good wishes, I remain, Sincerely yours, Herman Schlundt Herman Schlundt. hs.as
