April 23rd,1928. Mr. J. F. Lott, c/o Ansonia Clock Company. 7th Ave. and 12th St., Brooklyn, N.Y. Dear Mr. Lott: I had a very pleasant interview with Mr. White, who very kindly consented to your appearence as a witness in our behalf in the suits which are called on Wednesday of this week in Newark. As explained to you there is a possibility that we may not require your services, but in cage we do we shall 'phone you and give specific directions as to the location of the trial, and when we would like to have you appear. Your appearance would certainly not be before Thursday noon, and probably on Friday. The follewing are the points which we hope to establish by you: 1. That you have had experience in the purchase of luminous material, as well as in charge of your application department. 2. That you bought luminous material from the General Radium Company of 149 Broadway,N.Y That the General Radium Company never informed you of any possible dangers in the handling or application of luminous material to watch and clock dials. 3. That the first knowledge of any possible danger you had was either through the press in May or June of 1925, or throumh the U. 3. Radium Corperation, who informed you of possible dangers at about this date. 4. That the U. S. Radium Corporation remested the Ansonia Clock Company to permit Dr. Frederick B. Flinn of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, to make a physical examination of your empleyees, and that such examination was made. This is about all that we hope to establish by your testimony, and it should not take more than a few minutes on the stand. We wish to thank you for your willingness to help us out in this instance, and to assure you that the attitude of the Ansonia Clock Company is much appreciated. Very truly yours,
