Letters Sent to James Ewing, April 7, 1931

April 7,1931. Dr. James Ewing, Cornell University Medical College, lst Ave. and 28th St., N.Y.C. Dear Dr. Bwing: As requested in your letter of January 12th, I am herewith sending you a list of the expenditures which we made in behalf of the five girls whose cases were settled in June of 1928, and for whon your Co unittee has been responsible for medical care. The list of expenditures covers the period from February 3,1930 to January 15th,1931. I trust that this will give you sufficient information to enlighten Dr. Krumbhaar as to the expenditures we have made in behalf of these girls. In your letber of January 12th, you state that Dr. Craver and Dr. Humphries agreed to place liss Schaub in a convalescent home were the cost would be approximately $25.00 per week. We note, however, from the bills sent with your letter of March 24th, that these charges amount to $50.00 per week or slightly more. It is my understanding that Miss Schaub's fracture has hesled quite satisfactorily, and that her present condition is probably as mach mental as anything else. In view of the fact that it was quite generally known that Miss Schaub was suffering from neurotic symptoms prior to the time that she was employed by us there is some question in our minds as to our responsibil- ity in the matter of caring for her along this particular line. You appre- clate, however, that we must be governed by your opinion in this matter, and we wish to assure you that we feel that you will be eminently fair with us. From rumors we hear I judge that Miss Schaub has spent the money which was paid to her in a lump sum in 1928, and is entirely dependent upon her annuity for maintaince, and we are wondering whether or not a good deal of her condition may not be brought about by the strained financial circumstances and a desire on her part to place us in a position whereby we will be obligated to care for her. Her case is obviously a very difficult one, due to the mental condition, but wé do not feel that this condition should be the cause of exacting from us medical care which does not come strictly under the provisions of our agreement. I hope to have a conference with you and Dr. Craver in the near future for a discussion of these matters. I also have a letter from Dr. Schlunt giving the radium content of the urine and feces samples collected from the four girls during the time which they were given the course of parathormone and visterol. These results
