Letters Received to H.H. Barker, March 9, 1934

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY MINNEAPOLIS OFFICES OF THE DEAN March 9, 1934. AND THE DIRECTOR MAR-12 1934 Mr. H. H. Barker, United States Radium Corporation, 535 Pearl Street, New York, N. Y. Dear Barker: I have your letter of March 6 and am interested in the recent legal developments in the "radium poisoning" cases. I seem to remember the name LaPorte. Is she one of the original five or a relative, or am I mistaken in recollecting this name in that connection? Of course, I am glad to assist you in attempting to prove there was no fraud on the part of the company as that has always been definitely my opinion. I see no reason why I could not come to New York in the week beginning June 4. I suppose this date may be changed to a later one at the convenience of the court or lawyers. If it should be changed, please let me know as soon as possible. As it stands now, it is about as convenient as any date during term time. Of course, if it were to be postponed until August or September, I would have more leisure but I understand that you cannot control these matters and aremore or less subject to the judge's orders. I am glad to hear that Dr. Schlundt will be able to come and will look forward with pleasure to seeing both of you again. With best regards, Sincerely yours, P. C. Lind S. C. Lind, SCL:LL Director.
