Letters Sent to C.B. Lee, October 9, 1928

COPY Potter and Berry, 60 Park Place Newark,N.J. Octo ber 9,1928. Mr. C. B. Lee, United States Radium Corporation 535 Pearl Street, New York City. My dear Mr. Lee: Permit me to acknowled.ge receipt of your letter of October 6th. Naturally, the name "Canfield" is unfamiliar, since, as I believe I explained in my previous letter to you, Mrs. Canfield was employed by the Radium Corporation under her maiden name of Mae Cubberley. Your records ought to show accurately the dates of her employment. Mrs. Canfield states that she worked for the United States Radium Corporation from on or about the middle of September, 1916, to on or about the middle of February, 1918. Mrs. Canfield first began to show the effects of radium poisoning in the latter part of the year 1926. She first went to Dr. Humphries in June of this year and was then informed, for the first time, as to the cause of her illness. The confirmatory test, to which I refer, was the usual physical examination and test, of the expiratory air for radiation. She has, in addition to t he common jaw infection, bone pains in the hip joints and spine. I hope that you may let me have the decision of the corporation shortly, inasmuch as delay would jeopardize Mrs. Canfield's rights. I shall, unless I have sone wörd from you, begin action on the 15th of this month. If an amicable adjustment can be made, we can then discontinue. Very truly yours, Potter & Berry By: (signed) Raymond H. Berry RHB:RK
