Letters Sent to G.W. Pesinger, June 5, 1930

June 5th,1930. Mr. G. W. Pesinger, New Amsterdam Casualty Co., 80 John St., N.Y.C. Re: Mrs.Ruth Saxer (nee Ruth Winters) N.YC-46108 Ruth Saxer-nee Ruth Winters VS. Radium Luminous Material Corp. of Del. Dear Mr. Pesinger: As suggested in our conversation of this morning, I herewith confirm the points discussed by letter: Some three or four wecks ago I discussed with Dr. Humphries the condition of one of his patients by the name of Mrs. Ruth Saxer, whom he had been treating, and which he had diagnosed as a "radium poisoning" case. Dr. Humphries feols that Mrs. Baxer has a legitinate case and that she should be conpensated. He endeavored to enlist the services of Judge Clark in her behalf, but Judge Clark declined on the ground that there were other radium cases in the Foderal Court at the present time. Dr. Humphries then approached the United States Redium Corporation, thru lfr. Markley, with the hope that some astisfactory settlement could be effected without the necessity of Nrs. Saxer resort- ing to litigation. In casd Mrs. Saxer cannot obtain redress without going to court, Dr. Humphries feols that she should press her case, and sufficient time has now elapsed that it is our opinion unless we takd some stepa to show that we are disposed to at least consider effecting a settlement, suit will be shortly instituted. As suggested, we believe that electroscopic tests should be conducted and that there should probably be taken a testimonal examing- tion to ascertain more facts relative to when lirs. Saxer first suffered pain which might have been attributed to Fradiun poisoning", and other pertinent data. According to ay understanding you approve of making the electroscopic tests and are willing to bean.your proportionate share of the expense involved - also any other expense involved for physical examination, etc. It is probable that Dr. Schlundt will be in New Yor some time the latter part of next week or the foropart of the week following, and Nrs. Saxer should be examined during his visit, which would not entail as nuch expense as if it were necessary to bring him on for this one esse. I expect to have a conference with lr. Emory and Markley to determine the exact technique to be involved, and will advise you as to the result of this conference. I hope you will confirm your understanding of our conver- sation of this morning. Very truly yours, HHBarkersRH Vice Presidente
