    "ocrText": "-2-\nin this field.\nI first suggested that he get in touch with Dr. Flinn in order that\nDr. Flinn might make gamca ray tests as well as expired air, but I found on call-\ning Dr. Flinn that he is out of town and will not return until Monday of nest welk.\nIt seems to me that this man offers an opportunity to obtain sone very pertinent\ndata on this subject and, considering the type of scientific data which Dr. .Flinn\nhas collected in the past we feel that we would not got the most to be had by his\nhandling the case. We, therefore, wish to put up to you the matter of coming to\nN.Y. and taking this case under study, such study consisting for the time being of\nan examination by gamma ray and expired air methods - further, you can ascertain\nwhether or not you would desire to have Mr. Curtis forward to you excreta for\nexamination.\nAs I visualize the situation there would be no objection to the tests\nbeing made at Dr. Flinn's office, but I do foel that it is extremely important\nthat you participate in these tests - one of my reasons for this is the fact that\nthe Committee apparently are not willing to give Dr. Flinn's work much cognizance.\nI feel that the data which we would obtain from a case like this is of sufficient\nimportance that it should be brought to their attention and, that you are in a\nposition to do this.\nMr. Curtis is remaining in town until Sat. afternoon of this week, and\nM was, therefore, in hopes that it would be possible for you to come to N.Y. to\nexamine him on Friday or Saturday, but due to the delay in getting into communica-\ntionwith you I realize that this would be impossible. We have one or two pro-\ncedures to follow out at this time - First, Mr. Curtis advises that he is in and\nout of N.Y. occasionally and, would be glad to advise us of his next trip here ail,\nwe could then arrange for you to come on at the same time. The other would be for\nyou to come on this summer and proceed to Ashland,N. H. and make your study up\nthere.\nThere might be some advantage in this procedure for I understand that"
