Int er -Office Cor r espondence Et hyl Gaso l ine Corporat ion 25 BROADWAY N e w Y o r k January 15, 1929. Dr. R. A. Kehoe, College of Medicine, Eden & Bethesda Avenues, Cincinnati, Ohio. Dear Dr. Kehoe: Attached hereto is copy of letter which Mr. khas addressed to the Chief Chemist of the Standard Oil Company at Baton Rouge, asking if there is any danger in uncapping empty tank cars that have been loaded with Etbyl Gasoline. I think I probably know your answer to this but would like your comments on this particular case. , ' We^ofcourse, have to be a little careful about writing Mr because he might think that he has already received some injury from this work and the chances are that instead of addressing him a letter we will have one of our field staff call on him and give him the information that you write us. This letter has already passed through two or three channels, as it is dated December 28th, and I think, therefore, that we should give the matter prompt attention. - HE 0011567 COPY El Dorado, Arkansas, December 28, 1928. Chief Chemist. Standard Oil Refining Co., Baton Rouge, Da. Dear Sir:- I would like very much to knew if there would be any danger in uncapping empty tank cars that have been loaded with Ethyl gasoline, knowing that there is always some sediment left in all cars after being unloaded, and that the one who removed the caps always gets his hands and arms saturated with same. I have heard that this gasoline is poison, and would like to know if the sediment in car would be poison enough to effect anyone. - Any information that you can give me on this matter will be appreciated.. envelope. Inclosed herewith self addressed and stamped - Yours truly, (SIGHED) J. H. Mumford. 0011568
