Dear ; Mr , Be r gt *
Thanhs v ery ranch fo r your l e t t e r of November I J th la which you enclose a copy o f Mr* Johnson*c weekly l e t t e r whlch^GaonE o th er th lh g s , d esc rib es the ease of Mr, { H H p of feodesha, Kansas,
X s h a ll take no actio n
on t h i s m atter u n less some f u r th e r circum stance
makes i t n ec essary . However i t may be J u s t as e l l
f o r you to t e l l Mr, Johnson th a t i f th is case la
d iscu ssed w ith him again by Mr, Kibba, he i s a t
l i b e r t y to quote me In saying t h a t th e -b e h a v io r of
t h i s man corresponds c lo s e ly to th a t of a number o f
o th e r eases of g aso lin e d e rm a titis th a t have cesse
to our a tte n tio n . I t seems q u ite c le a r th a t c e rta in
people develop a s e n s itiv ity to gasoline liq u id or
v ap o r, so th a t they develop a d e rm a titis on very
s lig h t contact. This type of d erm atitis often clears
up completely and quickly a f te r c e ssa tio n of exposure,
hut retu rn s promptly with the renewal of exposure*
Such persons o fte n have to d isc o n tin u e any occupati ori
which involves eontact w ith g a so lin e , although sometimes
they lose th e ir s e n s itiv ity a fte r a long or short period
of absence from exposure*
"
Very tru ly yours.
