ROBERT E. HUMPHRIES, M. D. 268 SOUTH CENTRE STREET ORANGE, NEW JERSEY TELEPHONE ORANGE 3-5357 June 17th, 1931. Mr. H. H. Barker, Vice President, United States Radium Corporation, 535 Pearl Street, JUN 13 1931 New York City. My dear Mr. Barker:- Mrs. Saxer was in to see me today, and told me about her talk with Mr. Markley. As you know, I don't consider that offer a reasonable one, as you settled with all the other girls for at least eight thousand dollars. It seems to me that if the Saxers were decent enough not to go to court, they should get at least the same treatment. They are very undecided about what to do, as they had hoped to get the thing settled without having a lawyer. Consequently I am writing you to see if they cannot be offered a better settlement. Otherwise, I am afraid they will get a lawyer, and while they will not get quite so much, you will have to pay more. Yours very truly, Robert@stempleria permines REH/MIH
