Y. Unitud States Radion Cor Dear Mr. Lee; I am inclosing the bill for Miss Dunn's stay at the Presbyterian Hospital. I have paid this bill a. per our agreement and now may I have your check for it. As I have told you Miss Dunn was in a ba.d condition when she came to me and it was necessary to give her a blood transfusion. We have succeeded in getting her hemoglobin from 35 up to 50. If we can get it up to 80 and keep it there it will be very gratifying. If it can be done then we can take care of the infection. We removed a small portion of the jaw bone also. For reasons of my own I have takon her away from the Presbterian Hospital and have sent her to the Knickabocker. It is a smaller hospital and she can receive botter care. We may want to send her away to some convalescent hospital whore she can be built up and I presume that it will be agrecable to your parties. As I understand it you aim is to avoid any publicity in the matter even if you do not think it is not due to radium. She certainly is in a bad way and I think everything should be done to give her a chance. The moro fact that we found radium in her would have a consi orable weight in Court. However she is very reasonable and we can do any= thing I want if we can benefit her in any way. I have been delayed in my treatment of her because Dr Barker has been too busy to report of the excrota. Until I had that information I couldn't determine what to do. If I had known that thore would have been a delay I would have made arrangements to have had it done some other place and charged it against the treatment. In all phye iological w ork we expect prompt report on all specimens. As I am very busy these days I may not get to soe you as weplan but if I don't
