Mr. Flinn to Mr. Markley
May 7, '30.
-2-
liked being put in this position, because if I was not satisfied with
him afterwards it would make it rather embarrassing to take the case
away, but on the other hand it has this advantage, being the family
physician she probably has more confidence in him and in anything he
may say than a strange doctor.
I will write to Dr. Hermann and tell him how
I want Mrs. Hoare treated, but I would like to hear from you as to how
I am to conduct these cases.
I feel that if we can put these girls on their
feet, without much expense, which I am sure we can, the money settlement
if any can be made easier and at least it will put you in a better
position in court proceedings.
Of course you realize that being in the con-
fidence of the girls and their lawyers it would not be honorable for me
to disclose to you their condition any more than I would give your
position away. I feel I am acting as an absolutely neutral person
who is trying to clear up an unfortunate situation. That is why I
can not show you my results and I insist that it is only fair for you
people to make your own examination so that you will know how the gi rls
are.
I do not want to hurry you in the matter, but
I feel we can get better control of the situation if we act promptly
in medical and dental care. Of course you realize you could subpoena
these people ir you wanted to.
The payment of this care can be handled either
directly or through me, you of course, getting the receipted bill.
Yours sincerely,
FREDERICK B. FLINN
Director of Industrial Hygiene.
