Radium Corp.\n535 Pearl Street, New York City.\nEdwin F. Smith, Esq.,\n1 Exchange Place,\nJersey City, N. J.\nBurton E. Emory, Esq.\nMgr. Aetna Life Ins. Co.\n100 William St. New York City.\nGentlemen:\nI acknowledge receipt of Mr. Smith's letter of\nthe 17th with copy of letter to Mr. Lee of the same date in\nthe above. It appears that the plaintiff's employment was in\n1918 and 1919. I assume that this case would come to the\nattention of the Aetna and the New Amsterdam.\nI would like to have Mr. Lee advise on the\nquestion of coverage as to what companies are on this risk.\nMr. McGeehan has not attempted to claim good\nhealth for this claimant until within two years of the claim,\nas other attorneys have done. On the contrary he frequently\nstates in his letter that about two years after she left the\nemploy of the radium company, she was confined to her bed;\nlikewise that she was confined to her bed in 1929 when she\nwas extremely anemic, skin was dry, etc.\nThis case would seem to be a strong case for\nthe company on the point that the statute of limitations\nis a bar. Nevertheless, I think it would be wise to have\nour medical staff examine and would suggest Dr. Maver for\nthe X-rays, Drs. Brothers and Rector for the surgical end\nand Dr. Davidson or one of his partners for the dental end.\nIf this is agreeable I shall be glad to make the arrangements\nfor the examinations, or Mr. Smith can do so, or we can do so\ntogether.\nI assume that the case will be considered and\npassed upon with the same reservation as heretofore as to\nC. B. Lee, Esq.\nEdwin F. Smith, Esq.\nBurton E. Emory, Esq\n#2\ncoverage. As we have no retainer in this matter from the\nAetna, I would suggest that Mr. Lee write a letter to Mr.\nEmory SO that the matter may come to us through the\nproper channel.\nYours ver y truly,\nEAM: AG"
