TELEPHONE JOHN 4085 NEW YORK OFFICE 60 JOHN STREET DIRECTION OF THOMAS L. PURDUM, VICE-PRESIDENT CASUALTY CLAIM DEPARTMENT GEORGE W. PESINGER NEW YORK, July 12th, 1927. RESIDENT VICE-PRESIDENT NYOL 10390 Re: Albina Larice & James A. Larice NYOL 10391 Re: Edna Hussman and Louis Hussman NYOL 10392 Re: Quinta McDonald and James McDonald VS. * * United States Radium Corporation * - United States Radium Corporation, 535 Pearl Street, New York City. Gentlemen: We acknowledge the receipt of summonses and complaints in the above captioned matters. As no accidents to these claimants have been reported and as it is impossible to determine at this time whether any or all of the actions are based on injuries accidentally sustained or result- ing from vocational diseases, it is quite necessary that the rights of the employer and insurance carrier remain uneffected until the close of the litigations, at which time, the coverage of the policies issued you in 1917 and 1918 may be determined. In no event, shall we be liable for damages awarded James A. Larice, Louis Hussman and James McDonald, who were not your employees. Allegation 6 of the complaint of Edna Hussman is to the effect that the plaintiff was exposed to said radio-active substances from the first day of June 1917 to the first day of February 1921. Our policy expired Nov. 4th, 1919, and it will probably be advisable for you to give notice of the suit to the Company whose policy replaced ours. We were not able to locate forms similar to the policy issued you, but we enclose herewith photostat copies of the applications on the reverse sides of which is printed the terms and agreements of the policies. Very truly yours, NEW AMSTERDAM CASTALTY COMPANY. G. W. PESINGER. GNP/ek-Enc. Resident
