Dear- Joe:
l.c contl y f , r.o th- r all** r.-i case of If ad ooisor.in in an infant attract^ :r.y c. stor.tion. Tnis one occurred near P.iiladelonia . As the ,nev.:spaper account referrea to the hospital v.hero tt.e illness ana death of _ the youngster occurred I v,;.s able to '. rite for fur trier Information, as prr co,i-s of corresoor*' cnee attached.
It looks to me as if Dr. '.layer has made out
a poor lead case for amain there is r.o ant lysis of toe
paint alli-eec to have caused the tc-oucle and train tne
X-ray is apparently used as tne chief indication of the
presence of lead.

I thought 1 v.oulc. drop down to Abington some time in the near future ami tal'-; to Dr. llayer and tell nir.i some of the things ve nava learned in the last year or so about tne subject, but before I did so I -.oulc like to have your fran< opinion, if you can give it to me, on the basis of tne inform:- tfon suonlied by Dr. .'.aver as to whether or not you frel tr.is is r ronuiiie leas case.
I am glad to retort that ry Executive Com
mittee is arranging to have funds supplied to Dr. Eyers
and his associates for carrying on the program I sooke
to you about last nontn at tne Children's hospital and
I do hope it v;ill result in giviri:: us enouen 'information
to get at the facts in the alleged cases of leed poison
ing among Children.
