Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, April 29, 1932

April 20th,1932. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Columbia, No. Dear Dr. Schlundt: During the past fow weeks I have had two or three short visits with Dr. Miner. He tells me that he has finally had some definite word from their principals in Paris who have been taking the supply of mesothorium. Apparently Dr. Niner wrote to one of his personal friends associated with this organization to get the low- down as to what was going on, and asking whether or not the Welsbach Company should endeavor to dispose of their supply thru other ohannels. Dr. Miner had a letter from his friend,which he showed me, to the effect that he believed the Welsbach Company would be wise to hold their supply, as he felt sure that the Paris concern would be in a position to take two or three hundred milligeems during the last few months of this year, and an additional amnunt early in 1933. I am unable to get any idea as to what the material is being used for, but I doubt very nuch if it is going into luminous material. Very truly yours, Vice President. HHBarker:RH
