Mr. Edward R. McGlynn,
810 Broad Street,
Newark,
N. J.
Dear Mr. McGlynn:
Dr. Frederick B. Flinn of Columbia University, whom we employed
for you at the suggestion of Dr. Gilman Thompson, has finished his
investigation of necrosis cases. His work has been unusually thorough
and comprehensive. The report is expected to be ready in a few days.
I have seen a preliminary copy. Dr. Flinn believes that radioactive
elements or other constituents of luminous material are not the cause of
jaw necrosis.
Attached is the original copy of bill for Dr. Flinn's work which as
you recall has extended over a period of months. You will see that he has
made no charge whatever for his own time and has included only his direct
expenses and part pay of an assistant.
Dr. Flinn has visited a mumber of the larger luminous material
application plants located in Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, has
examined a large mumber of operators, and has also examined a large number
of girls employed in other lines of work.
In view of the basis on which he is making his charge, which he says
is final and complete, I strongly recommend that you have your company make
a prompt remittance. Dr. Flinn has taken the money out of his own pocket
and it is only fair to him to see that he is reimbursed quickly.
Mr. Stryker tells me that settlements of our cases are being held up
awaiting advice from your company in regard to the additional amount that it
will assume under revised offer of Mr. Kalisch. I would appreciate it if
you would move this thing along so thatwe can get through with it.
I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours truly,
President.
ARoeder-HM
