COPY. BRYN. TRURO. Dear Ur. Cassells, Consulting Rooms, 1.Upper Lemon St., TRURO. Telephone 2902. 15.11.46. With reference to your recent article in the B.M.J. 0n Tetraethyl lead poisoning I think this patient is your number 3 and 1 thought you would like to know about. him for contrary to your general experience of these patients he does not seem to have made a complete recovery. I have seen him several times now and found him on each occasion quite odd in his behaviour. He still has bed dreams, sleeps badly, has lost a lot of weight and is still losing, is depressed and somewhat confused. His wife described him as definitely absentninded, e.g. if he goes down to do a little shopping he gets his change wrong and forgers most of the things he TMent for. Given a snail test of concentration e.g. a newspaper paragraph and asked to strike out the letter E he missed 24 out of 59. This perhaps gives you some impression o; what he is like and I still think he is suffering from the effects of lead. I am having a specimen of urine tested for I see from your notes in the Journal that the last figure vjas 0.063 mg. per litre which does not seem to be high. I should be glad to know if you have lately heard of any permanent|sequoia because the matter is of legal interest in this particular case as the question of compeusuti n has not yet been settled. Yours sincerely, (Sgd) C.T.Andrews. KE" 0:021512
