BARKER\n763 BROAD street, newark, N.J.\nJAMES E. M. TAMS\nBURTIS S. HORNER\nNovember 20, 1925.\nA. Roeder, President,\nSTATES\nCODA\nU.S. Radium Corporation,\n30 Church St., New York City.\nDear Mr. Roeder,\nI have your letter of the 14th inst. enclosing\nletter sent you by Dr. Hoffman together with copy of a\npaper read by him before the American Medical Association\nat Atlantic City.\nI am very glad to have a copy of\nthis paper. I think you should reply to Dr. Hoffman's\nletter but I am in some doubt as to the character of your\nreply.\nI notice that Dr. Hoffman desires to again visit\nyour plant. I strongly suspect that his purpose in making\nthis visit is to further qualify him to testify as a wit-\nness against you in one of the pending cases and you are\nunder no legal obligation to permit such an inspection, If,\nhowever, he is inclined to be fair, I suppose it is not at all\nprobable that he can do you any harm by visiting the plant,\nand it would be of some advantage to us to secure a carbon\ncopy of Dr. Martland's paper if we cannot otherwise secure it.\nI am very anxious to get a copy of this paper and believe\nthat our experts should have it.\nIf you wish to talk over this matter further with\nme before replying to Dr. Hoffman's letter I shall be glad to\nRECE\nNOV 21 1025\nNovember 20, 1925.\nA. R.-2-\nOUTED STATES\nSTATE\nSSEP,\nhave you do SO.\nI am not acquainted with Dr. Hoffman and therefore\nhesitate about giving you definite advice as to just how\nto deal with him. It seems to me from reading his paper\nthat he has attempted to be fair, although he seems to assume\nthat the conditions and operations in your plant are re-\nsponsible for the necrosis, instead of making any very seri-\nous effort to attribute it to some other cause.\nI am herewith returning Dr. Hoffman's letter.\nYours truly,\nEnc."
