DEPARTMENT OF PATHOLOGY
CORNELL UNIVERSITY MEDICAL COLLEGE
MAY 8 1929
FIRST AVENUE AND 28TH STREET
NEW YORK
May 7, 1929.
Mr. H.H. Barker,
U.S. Radium Corporati on,
535 Pearl Street,
New York City.
My dear Mr. Barker:
I encl ose a letter from Dr. Krumbhaar on which we should be
pleased to have your opinion. I will not answer this letter until I hear from
you.
At the Memorial Hospital we are disinclined to issue any
formal report. First, because the data is not yet complete. Second, because
we do not want to be involved in other suits. At the same time, I do not
see how any great harm would be done if we issued a statement properly qualif-
ied, of the results obtained to date. You will see that Berry frankly admits
the object of obtaining this report.
The whole situation is becoming more and more complex and
distasteful to any group of physicians. Therefore, I feel inclined to urge
on Krumbhaar and Berry the settlement which you suggested to Dr. Craver.
Please return Dr. Krumbhaar's letter.
Sincerely yours
James Ewi ng.
