Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, October 19, 1932

October 19th,1932. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Hissouri, Columbia, No. Dear Dr. Schlundt: I am herewith attaching a copy of a few notes which I thought I would send in to the Amer. Journel of Roentgenology and Radium Therapy, for publication. It would be much appreciated if you would read this over carefully, and if you have the time check my computations and advise me as to your reaction regarding the suitability of this material for publication. My reasons for preparing this brief article are largely on account of our friend Dr. Martland, who is continuously talking before medical societies, and insisting that the luminous material industry, as conducted even today, presents such hazards that it should in his belief be abandoned. Be also censures the administration of radon therapeutically for the same reasons, for he believes that there is a hazard in the application of luminous material As near as I can gather itit is his thought that the active deposit formed from the decay of radon while in the system will eventually cause harm by the alpha radiation emitted. I am also prompted to publish a few notes along this line upon the repeated request of Dr. Flinn for such information, as well as our nutual friend Mr. VenWolkenten. You will probably be surprised that I am sailing for London tonight, and expect to return to New York on November 14,1932. If there is any mission which I can preform for you mhile in London, you can reach me at the Park Lane Hotel. With kind regards, I an Very truly yours, Vice President. HHBarker: :RH
