Simultaneously, we should draw a control sample from a comparable subject--age, sex, height, weight, etc. Send both samples to Haskell Laboratory c/o W. Clayton, utilizing letters for identification such as A, B, C, etc. Send pertinent information concerning the patient to Dr. C. A. D 'Alonzo, Wilmington, Delaware. WEN/M-S 10-31-66 Copies: W. E.
