Mr. H.H. Barker,
United States Radium Corporation,
535 Pearl Street,
New York City.
Dear Mr. Barker:
I have received the two ampules which you sent me, and
have given one injection already.
It may interest you to know that apparently we are
beginning to get some indications of improvement and everyone
around the place is much encouraged in what seemed to be a very
hopeless case. The nurses all seem to feel that they are seeing
some free movement of the limbs, and while we cannot expect to
get any marked change so soon it is pleasing to know that some
improvement has been noted by outsiders. I do know that the calcium
out-go is increasing and that of course is a positive sign as to the
effect of the radium.
Mrs. Dunschott will be in town on the 24th and I will let
you know what time she will be in my office for I am very anxious
that you see her and note the improvement in her condition. It
might be interesting if Dr. Craver had seen the case before and
could talk with her now and check up on the change in her condition.
She will be rather busy that day with X-ray tests and consultations
and I presume will be wanting to get back to Waterbury that night,
so I cannot tell how much time I will have with her but I will let
you know as soon as I get definite information so you can run up for
a minute or two and look her over.
Sincerely yours,
Finderch B Them
