Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, June 30, 1932

June 30th,1932. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo.

He is sailing on August 5th, on either the Europa or Bremmmen. It is my deduction that thin trip is being sponsored in behalf of interesting Americans to travel abroad and visit these radium spas. Due to the unfavorable publicity given radium in this country in the past few years, there has undoubtedly been a falling off of trade at these springs, and it is probably a move on the part of the sponsors to re-establish faith.
