Letters Sent to Edward R. McGlynn, March 21, 1925

Narch 31, 1925, lir. Rdward R. Medlyn, 810 Broad St., Newark, I. J. My dear lir. MeGlyn: I think during our conferences the other day, I mentioned to you that it was rather definitely reported that Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman who is associated with the Prudential has been assigned to read a paper before the ^merionn Medical Association Convention which is to be held in Atlentic City in May. From two sources information has been received that Dr. Hoffnan's subject is to be "Radium Necrosis." Since Dr. Hoffman did not accept an invitation extended to him to visit our Plant and make full examination, I em left with the impression that his investigation could not have been thorough. I believe that Dr. Hoffman is a statistician for the Prudential so that probably if Mr. Duffield requested him to select another subject pending a complete investigation of the necrosis matter. Dr. Hoffman would heed his request. It is almost inconceivable to me that Radium or luminous material have any bearing on this condition, and it would certainly make it more difficult. Probably if you suggested to some of your people in the American Intual they would talce this matter up through the proper channels with lir. Duffield or some other individual of importance in the Prudential. I think you have this in mind, but thought best to write in case you failed to make a note of it. Yours truly, President. ARoeder-EDI
