COPY November 28th,1927. Dr. Alice Hamilton, Industrial Department, Harvard University Medical School, Boston, Mass. Dear Dr. Hamilton: Dr. Emerson handed me your letter of November 15 and a copy of his reply. I would like to correct several of the errors in your letter. I was first brought into the radium problems by the late Professor Gilman Thompson in March, 1925, nine months before I ever had any interview with the Consumers' League. I was never employed by the Consumers' League in any shape or manner. I was never employed by the United States Radium Corporation in the sense that I have received any compensation for my work. The article in the "Laryngoscope" was a paper read before a Section of the Academy of Medicine by invitation and sent off for publication without my knowledge. The title was given to it by some other person than myself. I am still studying the matter and think it is too complicated for any definite decision yet. Yours truly, Frederick B. Flinn
