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 withheld 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
