Dear Dr. Gordons
He doubt you have seen your patient, Mrs .
s^nce
she came here to see us. She was examlnedD^one orisy asso
ciates., Dr. Karl Kitzmiller, and I am sending along to you
the complete record of his examination for such use as it may
he to you.
The problem of analysis to determine the degree of radium storage in the body is one that we have not tackled previously, nevertheless, we obtained blood and urine samples, and I think we shall be able to satisfy ourselves as to the presence or absence of significant quantities of radium. I shall let you
know the outcome of our results when they are available. How ever, I think this is a matter of academic interest purely, since in our feeling there is no relationship between her radium treatments and her present condition. Incidentally, I did not say anything to ^3`^JHBHfcabout the difficulties of our analytical determinations^sinc^I felt that if you regarded it as useful to give her the feeling that any such question had been utterly disposed of, you would be at liberty to do so. She is certainly a most Unfortunate person and she is entitled to any comfort which can be given by alleviation of apprehen sion on this point.
Thanks very much for letting us see Mrs.
and I hope
we have been of some help both to you and to heF.
Cordially yours.
