JAMES E.M.TAMS BURTIS s. HORNER December 5, 1925. 0 RTATEB A. Roeder, President United States Radium Corp. HORD 30 Church Street, New York City, N. Y. Dear Mr. Roeder: Several days ago Mr. McGlynn came to see me and said that Mr. Kalisch had indicated to him that he was willing to settle the oase of Margaret Carlough, the case of her sister which has not yet been started, and the Kuser case: and this morning I have a letter from Mr. McGlynn in which he states that Mr. Kalisch will settle the Carlough ease for $10,000, her sister's case for $1,000. , and the Kuser case for $500. or a total of $11,500. When Mr. McGlynn first mentioned the question of settlement to me, I asked him how much the insurance company would be willing to pay toward the settlement of the Carlough case in order to effect I settlement. He said he had not taken up the matter with the insurance company, but that he had no doubt that it would be willing to make a substantial contribution because the expenses of trial would be very heavy. This is the matter which I desired to disenss with you last evening, and under these circumstances the advisa- bility of settling these cases should be given serious con- sideration.
