October 28th, 1929.
Dr. Herman Schlundt,
University of Missouri,
Columbia, Mo.
Dear Dr. Schlundt:
Mr. Curtis was in our office on Friday of last
week and, reports that he has not replied to your letter written around
October 1st, or sent you any samples due to the fact that it has been
necessary for him to be away from home a good deal during the last two
or three weeks. As he probably told you he is endeavoring to interest
some woolen goods manufacturers in plants in and around Manchester.
Mr. Curtis expects to return home either Saturday or
the first of this week and said that he would then be in a position to
comply with your request.
I suggested to him that we arrange an interview
with Dr. Ewing during his present visit, but he was disposed to postpone
such a visit until his next trip to New York, which he said would not be
so very far away. I also hope that we can arrange for a day with him
for electroscopic tests during this next trip.
In general appearance Mr. Curtis shows a very marked
improvement. He states that he is feeling better than in June and
believes that he is continually improving. He seemed interested in the
general condition of the five girls and, whether or not there was much
possibility of his fate being a like one. I feel confident that Dr. Ewing
will be anxious to see him the next time he is in town, also Dr. Flinn.
You will doubtless be interested to know that Mrs.
Quinta McDonald has been confined to the Memorial Hospital for the past
7 or 8 weeks and that Dr. Craver feels her condition not at all satisfac-
tory. She has developed some sort of a tumerous condition of the
intestines as well as a metastisis of the lungs and, Dr. Craver feels that
the duration of her life is comparatively short, probably a matter of
months. Dr. Craver felt that in view of the situation he should advise
the family and did so last week, with the result that over the week-end
the Metropolitan papers have been rehashing this subject in much the same
old manner. I guess we will have this sort of a procedure to look
forward to with each one of these cases, provided they progress as we
may expect. Apparently there is only one of the five girls whose con-
dition is at all satisfactory and, that is Miss Grace Fryer. Mrs. Hussman
is constantly growing worse, Mrs. Larice seems to be on the down-hill road
and while we have no definite information regarding Miss Schaub, her con-
dition does not seem to be improving.
In the event that Mrs. McDonald passes on, we are in
-2-
hopes of obtaining some specimens for quantitative analysis and, I assume
that you will be interested in having some of such specimens.
Are you planning on attending the Missouri University game in
New York City on November 16th?
With kind regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Lice President.
