    "ocrText": "May 2nd, 1929.\nDr. James Ewing,\nCornell University Medical College,\nFirst Ave. and 28th St.,\nNew York City.\nDear Dr. Ewing:\nYour note of April 30th, enclosing bills from Drs. Henendeen\nand Humphries is at hand. These bills have been O,K'd and they will be\npaid in the near future.\nWe are glad to note that you were successful in reducing\nDr. Herendeen's bill from $500 to $300, for after all this seems like quite\na satisfactory fee for group work such as was involved in this instance.\nWith reference to Dr; Humphries bills: Please note that I\nam returning two bills from Dr. Humphries for services rendered Miss (.Schaub.\nOne dated March 31st, and the other April 10th. The bill dated March 31st,\ncame along with bills for the other four girls, but we were unable to reconcile\nDr. Humphries notations -- that is, you will note that on the March 31st bill,\nhe has an item in 1928 designated hospital patient $50.00, although we have\nno knowledge of her being confined to the hospital until January 21, 1929.\nThe January 26th,1929 item involves a period when she was confined to the\nOrange Orthopaedic Hospital. I called Dr. Humphries and asked him for more\ndetailed information with reference to his bill of March 31st, and you then\nreceived the bill dated April 10th. The fact that the items listed on this\nbill are so entirely different from the original makes us wonder how accurate\nDr. Humphries is in properly recording the attention which he is giving these\ngirls. He has so billed us the second time that the amount is exactly the\nsame although he includes one call which was rendered after the date of the\nfirst bill. We do not look with favor upon such carelessness in this phase\nof the work.\nOn February 21,1929, we paid a bill of the N.J. Orthopaedic\nHospital and Dispensary in connection for hospital care of Miss Schaub on\nJanuary 21st, and February 14th, also for four (4) x-rays taken Nov. 3,1927,\nJanuary 24th,1929,April 24th,1928 and December 27th,1928. Inasmuch as our\nStipulation did not become effective until June 11,1928, you can appreciate\nthat in this instance we paid for x-ray services which did not properly come\nunder the stipulation. We did not make an issue of this point, however, as\nthe amount involved was small.\nWe regret to have to bother you with these details, but feel\nthat it is essential that you know exactly what we are confronted with. We\nwill appreciate your returning the two bills of Dr. Humphries after you have\nhad an opportunity to inspect same.\nSincerely yours,\nHHBarker:RH\nVice President.\nenclosures"
