May 8th,1932. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: We have before us a report forwarded by the Radium Extension Service, giving the amounts of radium element which you found in the various patients examined at the Elgin State Hospital. I am quite interested in the comparative amounts as found by the gamma ray test and the expired air. The amount of radium in the system in the free emensting state is certainly large in practically all of these cases, and I am wondering what your theory may be on this subject. Do you feel that where such a large amount of the radium is in a highly free emanating state that its possibility of being eliminated is good. The information which I have is incomplete inasmuch as there is no data relative to the dates which the radium chloride was administered. The table does not contain the amounts given. Very truly yours, Vice President. HHBarker:R}
