I recall that\nyou, on various occasions, expressed an interest in this sort of data, as you\nprobably surmised that the conditions found would probably exist.\nWe have at all times given Dr. Flinn our fullest cooperation and,\nwould be glad to continue to do 30 if Dr. Flinn displayed a disposition to accept\nsame in the spirit which it is given.\nI have not seen the July number of the Popular Science monthly, but\nshall take occasion to look up the article at an early date.\nI have sent copies of our joint paper, as well as the one published\nunder my name, on the Leman case, to those you suggest with the exception of\nMrs. Hewes. Unfortunately we do not have her address, but in case we can locate\nsame I shall be glad to see that she is supplied. I also sent Dr. Moore and Dr.\nLind copies of these two papers - however, our duplication is probably of little\nconsequence.\nI have no idea what type of therapy De Flinn is using to increase the\nrate of elimination of radium, for he gave me no information on this sufject. However,\nI would not be at all surprised to find that it is as you suggest.\nI an in hopes that I shall have the pleasure of a chat with Madam Curie\nwhile in Paris and, have asked Dr. Moore for his assistance in enabling me to have\nan interview. In case you have any suggestions as to how to see Madam Curie I would\nappreciate same.\nWith kind regards, I am\nVery truly yours,\nVice President.\nHHBarker:RH\nenclosure\nNote: Mr. Lee has suggested that you write Dr. Janes Ewing, Cornell\nUniversity Medical College, lst Ave. and 28th St., N.Y.C. advising\nhim regarding your suggestion of using barium chloride to increase\nthe rate of elimination of radium. I an confident that Dr. Ewing\nwill welcome any such suggestion and, am also sure that you will\nreceive full recognition of such suggestion should this line of\nattack prove fruitful."
