p y TREASURY DEPARTMENT Bureau of The Public Health Service Washington, D.C. October 11,1930. Mr. C. H. Granger; Vice President, Waterbury Clock Co., Waterbury, Conn. Dear Mr. Granger: I am glad to have your letter of the 9th, instant. I believe that we are nearly to a point where it will be possible to show you the results which we have obtained. The final analysis is being completed, and it is hoped very soon to have the bulletin in final typewritten form. At that time a copy will be sent you, and we will appreciate suggestions before the report is sent to the printer. With respect to the recent check-up, which Dr. Flinn and lr. Knowles made, we really feel that in general the agreement was as close as could be expected, in view of the small amounts of radium being measured. So far as a report for publication goes, we are, of course, not concerned with the question as to whether a particular girl is or is not radioactive; we are rather interested in whether the group of girls as a whole , especially those employed only under existing conditions, show an indication of radium poisoning. Yours very truly, L.R.Thompson Asst. Surgeon General.
