New York City
Dear Barker:
Many thanks for your letter of October 8 and the very
interesting enclosures which I have read with a great deal
of profit. If I have an opportunity to pass judgment on the
results obtained in the survey by the Public Health Service,
I would be very glad to bear these precautions in mind. I
should think that they would be very necessary in the detec-
tion of amounts of radium in the living body as low as two
micrograms. I do not understand why these precautions should
have been neglected when the paper by Schlundt, Barker, and
Flinn has now been out for a year and a half. I trust that
the report will prove that the necessary precautions have not
been neglected, and that your information is correct.
I will certainly be glad to look in on you, whenever I
get to New York. I have no plan for coming in the immediate
future. With best regards,
Sincerely yours,
s. b. Lind
S. C. Lind,
Director.
