Mr. Howard C. Barker,
U.S. Radium Corporation,
535 Pearl Street,
New York, N. Y.
Dear Mr. Barker:
I have just noted that in sending you
the January bill for expenses, drugs,
etc., I did not inclose some of the
receipts I have so I am forwarding them
herewith.
The patients seemed to be in satisfactory
general condition at my last visit
(although as I told you Mrs. Hussman's
left chest was strapped on account of
continuous pain she had in same) and since
I have not heard from them I presume they
are continuing all right--anyway I can
state it is my belief that the treatment
did not do them any apparent harm. It is
my hope that they will show some encourag-
ing result from the treatment and that in
the end it may have been worthwhile to
both parties.
I trust that from clinical interest I will
sometime be allowed to see some of the
medical records, particularly such as
X-Rays, in these cases.
With regards, I am
Sincerely,
HCJ/EKS
P.S. I am inclosing a clipping from some
therapeutic notes which may interest you.
