Letters Received to A. Roeder, December 15, 1925

DED 16 the Cohumbia Unitersity College of and Surgems EPIDEMIOLOGY 437 WEST 59TH STREET, NEW YORK INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PUBLIC HEALTH ADMINISTRATION INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC HEALTH SANITARY SCIENCE Dec Mr. A. Roeder, United States Radium Corporation, 30 Church Street, New York City, N.Y. Dear Mr. Roeder; I received your letter this morning expressing Mr. Stryker's feeling about Miss Catherine Schaub. I have been very guarded in my remarks with the girls for I felt that they may be trying to find out our feelings for the information " of as you expressed it our excited friends. I am enclosing a letter I have received from Dr. F. M. Legge in response to one of mind asking him if he thought that the blood picture 9.8 drawn by Dr Rosher could be considered a normal picture for the English working girl as it did not cor- respond to our own findings in this country. If I had gotten the same picture on the girls that I had examined here in America I should have been a little worried. His reply speaks for itself as to jaw necrosis. I cannot but feel that there is something somewhere that we have not gotten to the hottom of and that was why I felt that if the Insurance Company could make a reasonable settlement it might be the better way out. All of my findings are negative, but it is very hard to explain the cases in your fac- tory without having the medical history of each girl and of course ie cannot get that. But no one can possibly say that any one knew about such an industrial hazard and if it were not for the cases referred to, any one would be forced to say that there was no hazard from my work. That of course will be my testimony and I shall refuse to 2e discuss any cases that I have not examined because it will be well not to drawn into 1 an augument about ahmatter that no one knows anything about. Cordially Funderch B. Ferm
