UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI 59501025 COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY 5 July 27, 1925. UNITED STATES RADIUM GORP. Mr. A. Roeder, Pres., U.S. Radium Corporation, 30 Church Street, New York City. Dear Mr. Roeder: Enclosed herewith is my expense account for the trip I made to attend a conference with Dr. McCoy and Mr. Barker. This account does not include an item of $4.00 for hotel. Since I was short on cash, Mr. Barker paid this bill and it will appear on his expense account. A word about the conference: We had two sessions at Dr. McCoy's apartment, at which we snent from five to six hours. I feel that we considered very critically and in detail all the data Mr. Barker submitted. We arrived at substantially the same conclusionswhich he had drawn. Both Dr. McCoy and I were impressed with the care exercised by Mr. Barker in conducting his investigations. You have in Mr. Barker a scientist combined with a man of affairs. In our review of the case we took nothing for granted, and we came away in full agreement, and satisfied that the results obtained are reliable in every detail. The conference discussions naturally lead to new ideas. Some new experiments were outlined, which we hope will furnish additional information for the service of the radium industry and the welfare of the workers. Please be assured that we stand ready to co-operate with you in solving these problems to the full extent of our time and facilities. Very truly yours, Herman Schlundt HS: VH
