Letters Received to H.H. Barker, May 25, 1932

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY May 25th, 1932. Mr. H. H. Barker MAY 31 1932 United States Radium Corporation 535 Pearl Street New York City My dear Barker: Please let me tell you that the electro- meter arrived yesterday and it seems to be in good con- dition. So far we have not made any experimental runs with it, but as soon as we have set it up and tested out the instrument, we shall advise you again. Let me say that we are not only grateful but we appreciate the spirit that the United States Radium Corporation has shown during these years since we started the experiments on radium poisoning in its contributions in fostering research along these lines. Your letter telling about the conference you had with Dr. Ewing gave both Dean Robbins and my- self quite a thrill. We feel very much encouraged as a result of this conference and we are making every effort to lay before Dr. Ewing our program of research. The enclosed copy of our letter to Dr. Ewing will tell the rest of the story. We trust that our letter will make an appeal to Dr. Ewing and that he will as a result write to Dr. MacNeal or have a talk with him. In addition we think it will be of benefit to us to have you make contact with Dr. MacNeal and I hope it will also be of some interest to you to do this. Your suggestion not to broadcast to Dr. MacNeal from too many sources I think is a good one, and we are not taking further steps to interest him. With very best of good wishes, I remain, Sincerely yours, Herman Schlundt Herman Schlundt. hs.as enc.
