A , Kehoe, M ,D ,, ;o Kettering Laboratory, Un iv. of Gin, Seen ay., Cincinnati 19- July ?.0, Ipod ; Dear Pr o f . o:)o; ' We have not xexchanged'correspondence, I think, since .1 wrote I/IO/65 about some anoint further bone specimens I hac for analysis, 0 . altho I must have sent you my principal article, Lead Poisoning and the Fall of Rome, from the Jol, of Occupational Medicine for Feb. 1965. It acknowledged the hi^Ly valued assistance of your Laboratory, and should have mentioned your/own :,name also, as I shall take care in the future. c Q S u - > [ d . ; ; In the meantime you have Re t i r e d from the Laboratory, and gone to .South America . And I have continued work on my immense thesis, gathering further bones, studying the literature, esp. your Metabolism of Lead, normal Ket- ab. of pb, your critique of Patterson's article, your (with Thamann A your . . Cholak) On the Normal Absorption; /// with Cholak & Story: A Spectrochem. Study I have yet to see. - , Thru Dr J . Lawrence Angel of the Smitfipnian I have learned, of jphe electron micro-probe, which can analyze 'much smaller spec! mens, even a fraction of a gram. I am aiming to learn more about it. Is there such an apparatus in the Kettering Laboratory ? And I am trying to find more about the w h ich-bone factor, which it seems to me must be reckoned with, however unreliable our measures of it. And which part of which bone, with the elec tron micro-probe. I am preparing a book, which might be called i s - : ..nius -.ice of Lead-poisoning anc otlRer dysgenic factors, and answering the cor respondence from half,a dozen countries which has followed the simultan eous publication in the Jol. of Oc. Med. and Mankind ply. You may have seen the reports of it in Medical world New s , Sci. Dip., Ghr. ni; try, -Mil. of Ghom .due., or injpewspapers, radio, and popular journals like aroor1:1, fat. Gov., der Spiegel, 11 Tempo, cie Kelt etc. And so I had. a visit recently from Mr StGfen of Westerwaldstr. 3 1, 5^3 Montabaur, West Germany, and have put In better English and mimeographed his article on Insidious Lead Poisoning, which I am sure will interest you, with its findings from Russian experiments and studies, so hard for us in the West to get at. I can supply other copies if you like, and shall address one to the librarian of the Institute. I also gave a paper on the subject, at the 3d Inti. COng, 0i ' t of Human1Genetic?, approximately reportedln the endorsed paper from the Jol. Of .-disc :d r it ion, 19:95-9 1967- I am very conrsclours of your great help in the past, to me and to the whole -study of the saturnine metal, and. hope that it may continue and be reciprocated. f a 0 0 0 14 6 5
