Letters Sent, December 16, 1929

December 16th,1929. Herrigel, Lindabury, & Herrigel, 1060 Broad St., Newark, N.. J. Gentlemen: We have your letter of December 12th, in behalf of Dr. Edward W. Blakely for medical services rendered Mrs. Albina Larice and lrs. Quinta McDonald. In the settlement of these suits esch one of the complainants were paid $10,000.00 cash and guaranteed an annuity of $600.00 per year under certain conditions. Medical expenses incurred by them up to June 1,1928 were to be paid by us, but there was a limit set to the amount of our obligation in this respect, and all bills presented were to be o.K'd by the Honorable Wm. Clark. Mrs. Larice submitted an amount of $1197.00 which she stated had been paid by her to Dr. B. W. Blakely, and Mrs. NcDonald submitted a statement of $1116.00 which she stated had been paid by her to Dr. E. W. Blakely. These women were re- imbursed for these two amounts, and when the final settlement was made we were relieved from all obligations to the five com- plainants, except for medical expenses which night be authorized in the future by the Committee of Physicians set up to handle their medical cases. If there are any obligations due Dr. Blakely from these two women his recourse is against them, as the United States Radium Corporation has discharged its duty fully in accordance with the settlement agreement. Should the two amounts above specified not have been paid to Dr. Blakely as claimed we would be very glad indeed to know it, - or if the amounts covered services other than treat- ment for the purpose of curing or treating them from the effects of the so called "Radium Posoning", we would be glad to have a statement from Dr. Blakely, as there is a possibility that we reimbursed them for services not coming within the limits of the settlement agreement. Very truly yours, President. CBLee:RE
