May 20,1941.

Cambridge, Mass.
Room 6306-C
Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of May 14th, we wish to advise
that we are not in a position to supply any polonium, and the
smallest tubes of high grade radium salt which we have available at
present contain from 8/10 to 9/10 milligram activity. The price
of this material in smallest quantity is $70.00 per milligram.
We do, however, carry on hand a solution of high grade
radium salt in distilled water, and would be glad to furnish you with
an ampoule containing 3/10 milligram if you can use the material in
this form. This is also a salt of approximately 95% purity, and the
price for 3/10 milligram would be $15.00.
Very truly yours,
CwWallhausensdk
Chief Chemist
