Minneapolis, Minn.
Dear Dr. Lind:
1 must apologize for not having answered your letter
of January 14th before this. The principal point which Mr. Emmer-
glick endeavored to make with reference to your article on the B
Solubility of Radium Sulphate" was to the effect that redium sul-
phate was not,as we had endeavored to put before the court, an
entirely insoluble material. I doubt very seriously if he made much
of an impression upon the court's mind, principally, because the
court stated that after the cross-examination of the writer, he could
not see where there was any difference of opinion between testimony
adduced and the article to which Mr. Emmerglick #88 referring. Frank-
ly, I am a little bit of the opinion that the court did not appreciate
the full importance of the article. As far as allowing the article
to be introduced as a exhibit, the court denied this, and that suited
us better than to have had the article introduced. I do not believe
the question will be taken up any further at this time. Thanks for
your offer of reprints, but am gled to state I have several of these
in my file.
With reference to your re-determining the solubility of
100% sulphate, and your thought that perhaps the Radium Belge Company
would be glad to accommodate you in supplying you with material similar
to which they are preparing for international standards; I am of the
opinion they would undoubtedly be pleased to help you out at a price
of $50. per milligram. I would suggest your communicating with Mr.
Kearney, of the Radium Chemical Company, #1 East 42nd Street, New York
City, who handle the distribution of redium for the Redium Belge in
the states. My suggestion as to price is based on the fact that I
know they are selling radium in rather small quantities at & price
of $50..
There has been considerable delay in the presentation of
briefs to Judge Forman due to his request for a transcript of the
testimony. As you know, the testimony was quite voluminous, and to
date same has not been completed, partly on account of one of the
stenographers having been in court at the Hauptmann trial. We feel

that we will be fortunate if we have 8 decision in this matter
by mid-summer.
With best regards to Mrs. Lind and yourself, I am,
Sincerely yours,
