LOUIS I. DUBLIN Me t r o p o l it a n Lif e In s u r a n c e Co mp a n y Ne w Yo r k Cit y Dec. 11, 1956 Dr. Robert A. Kehoe College of Medicine University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, Ohio Dear Dr. Kehoe: You may recall that early in the summer you gave us a lot of valuable information on ethyl gasoline blending. I believe you said there were no recent authentic cases of poisoning as a result of blending at the refineries. It has come to my attention that we paid a death claim on September 22nd in which the cause of death was ascribed to tetraethyl lead. The deceased was a laborer employed at an oil company plant in Savannah. The place of death was given as The Charity Hospital in that city. I wonder if you know of this case, and if you do, would: you tell us whether in your opinion the diagnosis of tetraethyl lead poisoning was correct. Very truly yours.
