INTER - OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE Et hyl Gaso l ine Co r po r at io n Ba l t imo r e Of f ic e c ou r t Squa r e Bu il d in g Ba l t imo r e, Ma r y l a n d IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO March 2&y 1940, Personal &Confidential Dr, Willard F. Machle, Dear Bill, While in Norfolk last Saturday 1 again contacted Dr* Woods and Mr. Alverson of the insurance compary and I amgiving below just what they had to say. Statement by Dr. Woods - Is coming along very well and has had no flare up in over two weeks. They have himworking around the ward waiting on and helping other patients. Dr. Woods believes it best to keep him in the hospital for at least a couple of weeks more in order to build up his hemoglobin, he feels that if they reAlease him they may not be able to get him to the office for treatments. Ashort time ago the counx was down to 49 and they nowhave it up to 60. Statement by Mr. Alverson - He is handling the Dewberry suit and he advised that he was in touch with the lawyer about a week ago and requested Xhat Dewberry be given an examination by a Dr. W.B.Martin to which the lawyer agreed* According to Alverson Dr. Martin is very thorough ahd has a very complete private laboratory and should be able to give a very compiexe examination. As soon as Alverson receives the report from Dr. Martin ne stated he would forward a copy of same to you. At present I amworking up that data on the sludge samples but amfinding it quite hard to get accurate information on account of CMmH the elapsed time since the samples were collected. For your information I amenclosing a report I have just prepared regarding a recent survey of all spiked and blending tanks markings, cleanings etc. I wanted to make this more elaboraxe but having to do my own typing I decided to make it concise as possible. I will admit that part of the picture is not as pretty as it should be and my friend (?) Dees is really trying to make a show of it. I do not need alibis but I can assure you that both barrels are loaded for the rebuttal if and when it becomes necessary- after his being Div. Mgr for one year and his assistant making H ^ 00210 N24457 Page 2 . and finding everything OKand his reports showing the same as mine haa I think he better use discretion in his accusations or they may bounce and strike back. I just received word this AMthat Lou Shank became tne proud father of a 6| pound boy last night, I believe you will remember Lou as he was formerly Div. Mgr here in Balto* As yet I have had no definite word when I amto leave these diggings for the Seattle Div. but I amnowbreaking in a new Safety Eng. He is Jack Maynard and was formerly Automotive Eng. on our Clinic. If I drive West I shall make it a point to stop off in Cincinnati on the way. I have been wondering if you have deciphered {anything more on that fancy rule, but I imagine you all have ueen ratner busy these past few weeks with all the things that have been popping. / XWith kindest personal regards, JS.Cole.
