August 29th,1930.
Dr. James Ewing,
c/o Cornell University Medical College,
1st 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 Senaub's letter is very interesting, for during the
past few weeks I have had occasion to be out at Dr. Martland's office
for the electroscopic examination of cases which are coming up for
trial, and while there Dr. Martland gave me SODE sidolights regarding
Miss Schaub, which apparently do not correspond with the information
she has written you.
In the first place it seems that hiss Schaub called upon
Dr. Martland for advice, or perhaps consolation, 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.
Wm. A. Berger, 268 N. 7th St. Newark, N.J., whose bill you enclosed ,
for advice, and it seems 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 Miss 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
-2-
for Miss Schaub, but at the same time WG cannot assume Miss Schaub's
living expenses, even though she may chain that she feels much better
when living in the country. We realize that Miss Schaub is somewhat
neurotic, and probably her mental condition is anything but beneficial
to her physical condition.
I hope that after you have a little more information regard-
ing this case, particularly with reference to Dr. Craver's visit to
Miss Schaub, I may have an opportunity to drop in and see you, so that
we may discuss this matter more fully.
Sincerely yours,
Vice President.
