Dear Dr. Kehoe
Attached is a letter received from Ur. E. Van Brunt, Secretary of the Orange State Oil Company, in further regard to the difficulty which they had in cleaning storage tanks at
The man referred to,
,
was not included in th<
ployed
at Tampa during the month of December when
the two fatalities occurred at Tampa. You
will note that Orange State's records indicate
this man was employed only from Eovember loth
through Eovember 17th and from Eovember 13th
through Eovember 26th. It would seem to me
that there is not much connection between
this Iran's illness and the other cases.
i
We are asking Don Phipps to investigate
what was done at Tampa during the time that ilitchell was employed there.
Very truly yours
enclosure
Costello.
