February 18th,1929.
Dr. James Bwing,
Department of Pathology,
First Avenue and 28th St.,
N.Y.C.
Dear Dr. Ewing:
Answoring your letter of February lst, regarding
the dental work to be done for Mrs. Larice:
We outlined our position in this matter to you
on last Thursday, which is that we are very anxious to keep the
expenses within the provision of the settlement agreement, and
there is a question in our rinds as to whether this dental work
would come under the term of reasonable medical service.
However, this might be considered as extraordinary or unusual
treatment for the purpose of curing Mrs. Larice from the effects
of "radium poisoning", and if so you have our authorization to
proceed with the work, since the medical commission have recommend-
ed it.
We want to be eminently fair in this matter, but
can see where a precedent might be established for rather far
reaching expenditures. The girls were each paid a sum of
$10,000 and receive a pension of $600.00 a year, and therefore,
should be in a. financial position to bear at least part or all
of an expense such as this, which cannot clearly be brought within
the terms of the settlement agreement. lie wish you to feel,
however, that we appreciate the efforts of the medical commission
and wish to cooperate to as full an extent as is possible.
Very truly yours,
President.
