My dear Barker:
The report which I sent the Radium
Extension Service of the amount of radium which was
found in the various patients examined at the Elgin
State Hospital is the same one I showed you hurriedly
while you were here in Columbia the last time. We,
of course, were surprised at the free emanating state
of the radium contained in these patients.
To follow this matter up I have written
to Mr. Armstrong advising him that we are interested
in making a follow-up series of determinations on
these patients. My object in writing to Armstrong
was largely to have him interview Dr. Read who has
charge of the hospital and to get his viewpoint about
having these patients tested a second time. I would
like to do this in order to get a little more informa-
tion upon which to base a theory of the high emanating
power of the radium contained in these patients.
Within the next week I hope to get clear
of the meetings of a committee on economies which has
been holding sessions ranging from two to five hours
a day, almost daily and then I whall try to get before
you a more complete report of the Elgin cases showing
the dates on which the radium was administered. I
also have several other matters affecting the future
research program here on radium which I wish to pre-
sent to you to secure your cooperation in getting in
touch with the proper persons in New York City who
have indicated an interest in our experiments on radia-
tions from radium and their physiological effects, but
I hardly have time today to formulate the matter in
detail.
Very sincerely yours,
Herman Schlundt
