Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, March 27, 1929

March 27th,1929. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of March 25th, enclosing report of radio-active test on Mrs. Canfield. We have been unable to calibrate ionization chambers Nos. 6 and 7 to date. On Monday March 18th, Dr. Flinn called early, and asked whether we could deliver the instruments to his laboratory, as he had two patients there to be examined. He made other examinations during last week, and the forepart of this week, and expects to examine the employees of the New Haven Clock Company next week. It, therefore, looks as though it will be a matter of two weeks before we con attempt this work. I have heard nothing from the Committee as to the progress in the examination of the excreta of Nrs. Hussman and Miss Fryer, but presume that they approciate that these things cannot be given your undivided attention. You doubtless have read in the papers about the death of lrs. Cardow of Waterbury, Conn., who at one time was employed by the Waterbury Clock Company. This girl was first examined by Dr. Flinn during the week of March 11th, and her con- dition at that time was considered critical. She contained some- where between 70 and 100 micrograms of radium element, according to Dr. Flinn's estimate. Matters pretaining to the litigation at hand are very quiet for the moment, but expect renewed activity at any time. With kind regards, I am Sincerely yours, Vice President. HHBarker: RH
