Y.\nUnitud States\nRadion Cor\nDear Mr. Lee;\nI am inclosing the bill for Miss Dunn's stay at the Presbyterian Hospital.\nI have paid this bill a. per our agreement and now may I have your check for it.\nAs I have told you Miss Dunn was in a ba.d condition when she came to me\nand it was necessary to give her a blood transfusion. We have succeeded in getting her\nhemoglobin from 35 up to 50. If we can get it up to 80 and keep it there it will be\nvery gratifying. If it can be done then we can take care of the infection. We removed\na small portion of the jaw bone also. For reasons of my own I have takon her away from\nthe\nPresbterian\nHospital\nand\nhave\nsent\nher\nto\nthe\nKnickabocker.\nIt\nis\na\nsmaller\nhospital\nand she can receive botter care. We may want to send her away to some convalescent\nhospital\nwhore\nshe\ncan\nbe\nbuilt\nup\nand\nI\npresume\nthat\nit\nwill\nbe\nagrecable\nto\nyour\nparties.\nAs I understand it you aim is to avoid any publicity in the matter even if you do not\nthink it is not due to radium. She certainly is in a bad way and I think everything\nshould be done to give her a chance. The moro fact that we found radium in her would\nhave a consi orable weight in Court. However she is very reasonable and we can do any=\nthing I want if we can benefit her in any way.\nI have been delayed in my treatment of her because Dr Barker has been too\nbusy to report of the excrota. Until I had that information I couldn't determine what\nto do. If I had known that thore would have been a delay I would have made arrangements\nto have had it done some other place and charged it against the treatment. In all phye\niological w ork we expect prompt report on all specimens.\nAs I am very busy these days I may not get to soe you as weplan but if I\ndon't"
