    "ocrText": "- 2 -\nC. B. Lee\n3-24-38\ncooperative and ambitious. In regard to salary, he has had such\nan excellent training and holds a Ph.D. that I believe he is worth\n$3000 if you were prepared to offer him that. I am sure he would\nprove his value from the beginning and that he would fit into your\norganization perfectly. He has no business experience, but I believe\nhas the qualifications which make him suited for it.\nI assume that he would not be available until the close of\nthe session at the University of Southern California which is about the\nend of May.\nIf you would need someone immediately to fill in until he\nwere available, I have the following suggestion: Mrs. Keren Gilmore\nBrattain, one of my former students who had about the same training\nas Copeland, is married to a physicist employed in the Bell Telephone\nLaboratories and lives at 270 West 11th Street, New York City. If\nyou needed someone for immediate service, I think she might be avail-\nable, and I am sure she would be very competent. She also worked\nwith radium emanation and understands electroscopes. I believe\nshe\nnever had any experience with Geiger counters, but I do not know\nwhether you use them or not. She has a Ph.D. degree with a major\nin Physical Chemistry and a minor in Physics. She is a very business\nlike young woman. I am not communicating with her, but will leave\nthat to you if you wish since she is in New York City. I ascertained\nby wire yesterday that Copeland would be interested in a position with\nyou, so you can open negotiations with him if you so desire.\nIn case you should not be able to make arrangements with either\none, there are some other men that might be available whom I would be\nglad to discuss with you later.\nI am terribly sorry to hear about Barker. I suppose there is\nlittle doubt about the diagnosis. Please remember me to him if you\ncan do so without disclosing the nature of our correspondence.\nWith best regards,\nSincerely yours,\nS. 2. Lind.\nS. C. Lind, Dean\nscl:f\nP.S. Dr. Charles S. Copeland's address is, Department of Chemistry,\nUniversity of Southern California, University Park, Los Angeles, Calif."
