Dear Dr. Drinker:
Thank you very much for the blood counts
of the girls that you examined in Orange. As soon a.s I have
my report in shape, I will send you a carbon copy of it and
I would appreciate your comments, Tho I am not saying it
out loud, I cannot but feel that the thorium and radium
mixture in the paint is to blame in an indirect way for
the girls condition.
Cordially yours,
Frederick B. Flinn (signed)

Miss Kathryn Schaub,

Newark, N. J.
My dear Miss Schaub:
I have been examining a number of
young ladies that have been engaged in painting watch
dials.
Miss Wiley of the Consumers League was in to
see me and gave me your name a,s having been in to see
her. I am very anxious to examine as many of the former
employees of the Orange plant as I can and wonder if you
would be kind enough to either come to my office at the
College or if you prefer to my house in South Orange and
let me give you an unbias opinion. after a proper ex-
amination. I would prefer to have you come to the Col-
lege a.s we have all of our instruments here and can do
it a little better than at my house. However that is
for you to decide, This examination will not cost you
anything except your carfare and time, I am very much
interested in this matter and have examined girls in a
large number of factories in this country, and have also
had them examined in Europe.
