April 6, 1951 Dr. W. B. Bones Pacific Palisades California Dear Doctor Bones: Your letter of January 18 has gone unanswered on my desk, not through any deliberate negligence on my part, and certainly through no lack of courtesy, but rather because I have been literally swamped with things that seem to require my attention urgently. It was good of you to send the tournament of Roses Review and the article on the Los Angeles smog situation. 1 seem to have had a number of scouts sending me bits of information from Los Angeles from time to time, and the situation there has, of course, been of considerable interest to us. We have been engaged in a number of studies of air pollution in various places. I am very sorry for all of the difficulties in connection with the cases of lead poisoning in California. Actually I feel that I was only a bystander in the matter, being called upon to make a few observations which carried essentially their own interpre tation. I am sure that I was not involved in any discussion that was disadvantageous to yourself. I am not now, nor was I then, in any position to criticize anyone. I merely made certain observations op the spot and arrived at certain conclusions concerning these observations, without/BJtVlng any reference to any other time than that of my visit. ' I should be glad to see you and to talk with you at any time you are in our vicincity, or if I should be in jours. I do not anticipate being fn California at any time in the near future, but one never knows. i. Cordially yours, RAK ef Robert A. Kehoe, M. D. KE 0 0 19 9 2 7
