Letters Sent to James Ewing, August 29, 1930

August 29th,1930. Dr. James Ewing, c/o Cornell University Medical College, lst Ave., and 28th St., N.Y.C. Dear Dr. Ewing: I an herewith returning to you letter written by Miss Katherine Schaub under date of August 4th, which you forwarded for our attention. We are authoring payment of bills enclosed in your letter of August 13th. Miss Sehaub's letter is vory interesting, for during the past few weeks I have had occasion to be out at Dr. office for the electroscopic examination of cases which are coning up for trial, and while there Dr. Martland gave me some sicolights regarding Miss Schaub, which apparently do not correspond with the information she has written you. In the first place it seems that liss Sciaub called upon Dr. Martlend for advico, or perhaps consoletion, and he advised her that he was not in a position to give her medical advice. As I under- stend Dr. Martland - she left his office and went to the office of Dr. Win. A. Berger, 268 N. 7th St. Newark, Node, whose bill you enclosed , for advice, and it seoms that while she was either going in or leaving Dr. Berger's office, she tripped or stumbled and injured her knee. Dr. Berger immediately communicated with Dr. Martland, advising him of what had happened, and asking his advice. Dr. Martland told Dr. Berger that he thought the best thing to do was to send Nãss Schaub to Dr. Humphries, who had been treating her case. I at first thought I would verify this information by communicating with Dr. Berger, but it occurs to me that there is no reason why Dr. Berger should give me the details of what actually happened in this case, but that if you, as a member of the Committee, who is responsible for the medical care of these girls, would request this information Dr. Berger I am sure would be glad to give it to you. While we are not disposed, as you well know, to shirk our responsibilities in any way whatsoever, still we do object to these girls incurring medical expenses, either directly or indirectly, which have not been authorized by your Committee. I understand that Miss Schaub has gotten rid of all of her initial settlement, namely, $10,000, and is entirely dependent upon her annuity as a means of income. We feel that this is very unfortunate
