Pine Beach, N. J. June 23rd., I925. Judson M. Strong, United States Radium Corporation, 30 Church St., New York City. Dear Sir: Recent newspaper reports have brought to the attention of my associate, F. C. Benson, Jr., and myself, a new and important phase of radium investigation of great scientific interest. I am writing to you in the effort to obtain permission to get together as much scientific information as possible in the cases of the recent so-called "radium poisonings", and in so doing, may open up information of value to you, as well as to ourselves. As I understand it, you are personally acquainted with Dr. Benson; as to myself, I am research worker to the Departments of Radiology and Roentgenology at the Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia. At the present time I am engaged in intensive X-Ray and radium research, my personal work being of biophysical nature. In conjunction with Drs. Benson and Frank, I am writing a book covering all phases of modern radiology. Hoping that this request may meet with your sanction, and that the investigation may prove of value and help to all of us, I remain, Very truly yours,
