Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, May 7, 1928

May 7th, 1928. Dr. Herman Schlundt, Department of Chemistry, University of Hissouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: I had occasion to open the package sent you to the Chemists Club, containing 3 small tubes of radium, this morning, and found the letter attached enclosed. I instructed our messenger to take this letter along with the package to be delivered to you, and evidently the letter was enclosed in the package, rather than being delivered separatdy. I certainly regret this incident and trust that the information contained in the letter did not seriously incon- you by not being received. The stop watch arrived in first class condition. With reference to the inquiry in your letter of April 30th, as to whether or not Urs. Hughes conducted her tests on normal persons, as well as the 5 complainants: I am of the opinion that she did conduct such tests - However, I am not able to state whether she did this daily or whether she made one blank test, and let that suffice as a basis for proceeding with the rest of her work. I believe that Mrs. Hughes spent at least one day if not longer with each of the plaintiffs. We hope that we will be able to get her note book or a transcript of same for our study prior to the contin- uance of the trial. Your letter of May 5th, enclosing copies of the three reports you have prepared in connection with your trip east, has just come to my attention, and at the present I am not prepared to discuss it in any detail with you, but on first appearance it certainly seems to be very complete and quite to the point. I shall be interested in continuing such experiments as you suggest to round out this investigation. I shall write you later after I have had time to read and study your reports more carefully. Was sorry to learn that you were disappointed in not seeing Jude at Swathmore, and I also realize that he was equally as much disappointed in not seeing you. With lind regards, I am $incerely yours, HHBarker:RI Vice President. enclosure
