In response to the recent discussion on the early use of radium on some
history of science listservs, I thought it might be interesting to some
metlist members to post a letter written by George Barker to W. J. Hammer in
1903 about the use of radium salts for an upcoming Columbia University
lecture to be given by Barker.

If you would like to view the letter on my history of science blog, click on
one of the links below.

It's one of my favorite letters.
