Letters Sent to Dr. Frederick B. Flinn, June 19, 1928

June 19th,1928. Dr. Frederick B. Flinn, College of Physicians and Surgeons, 437 Test 59th St., New York City. Dear Dr. Flinn: I had occasion to discuss with Martina Ober this morning, the matter of dental work which she needs to have done, and I find that the dentist to whom she has been going (Dr. Gorham, of N.Y.C.) has advised her that she has one abscessed tooth which needs to be removed, and one buried tooth which should be talcon out. She is very mch alarmed about these teeth, and is adverso to having them removed, because she is afraid that she will start some trouble. We have discussed the matter with her quite thorough- ly, and tried to explain to her that she should by all means have this work done, and in line with our conversation of the other day, I suggested that tre find a dentist who would do this work for her at a nominal fee. She finally consented to go to such a man for an examination, and an estimate on what the cost would be, then she would discuss the matter further with us to determine the *courge to pursue. I, therofore, wish that you would take this matter up with such a man as you have in mind, and explain to him the situation, making an appointment for this examination. I would suggest that he reserve giving Martina any estimate on the cost of the work, for it is our disposition to bear part of such cost in the event that it is anything more than nominal. Martina expects to quit work for us about the middle of July, and if possible we would like to get this matter straightened out prior to such time. lir. McCoy tells me that he has had an estimate of the dental work which he needs to have done, and that his Doctor quotes him a price of $165.00. It is our disposition to handle his case similar to that of Hartina's, insofar as cost is concerned, if it can be arrenged. That is we would probably bear part of the cost, and the Doctor would charge the patient a fee, which to all intedts and purposes was the only fee charged. Assuring you that we will appreciate your assistance in this matter. we remain Sincerely yours, HHBarker:RE Vice President.
