October 27th,1931. Dr. Herman Schlundt, Univorsity of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: I am advised by Mr. Arnstrong of the Radium Extension Service, Chicago, III, that Elgin State Hospital are willing to allow tests to be made upon the patients to whom they have administered radium chloride internally. I understand that they have followed out quite a definite and concrete plan in this direction, and tests upon those whom have been given the treatment should be of material value. At the moment it is difficult for me to say whether or not it is going to be convenient for me to conduct these tests or assist in conducting them. I am wondering if you or some of your advanced students would be interested in undertaking this work. With the general businesss conditions as they are at the moment, we are avoiding all unnecessary expenditures of money, and while we feel that this work is highly essential, still we have so many denands upon our coffers that we are having to curtail expenditures. Should occasion demand my being in that territory for some other reason, I would be glad to devote a few days to these testa - otherwise, I am afraid we will have to pass them up. Please let me know what your interest is in this matter. Sincerely yours, Vice President. HHBarkertRH
