Mason, City Aj RECEIVED FEB 16 1925 President. I. February 13, 1946 United States Radium Corp. the 30 Church St., New York City. Att: Mr. A. Roeder, President States Refina Corpassion Dear Mr. Roeder : Your favor of the 5th instant received. Was there any post mortem made to ascertain the cause of Dr. . Leman's death? Was this carried to the point of ascertaining the presence of radio-active material? I quite agree that the law excludes compensation in the Buckley case, and the same motive governed us as yourself in continuing payment of salary to the widow for a limited period. The circunstances surrounding the Buckley case never con- vinced me that mesothorium had anything to do with his death. He had not been exposed during a period of eight months, as our operations during that interval were totally suspended. When he resumed, his exposure was to minimum grade material, and covered a period of about three or four months before he complained of any illness, and which complaint arose follow- ing his being vaccinated. It was a month or six weeks after his vaccination that he was taken to the hospital, and pre- ceding his vaccination he was in his usual health, which was, to all appearances, sound as a dollar. Yours very truly than President.
