Dear Dr. Lethaa, ^ ** (
Thank you for your letter of 20th September re isbestosia at Yittenoan Gorge, which was waiting for me on my return from overseas.
I had hoped to see -you during my subsequent visit to Perth, to cover the points you mentioned, but this did not happen, as I was rather 'on the treadmill*.
I will certainly reinforce your
opinion with Dr. Rennie and I think this will be best done personally as I am bound to see him during one
of my visits to Sydney,
The other remedies are of course in your own hands, and I am sure if not already covered by legislation, could be for this most hazardous
occupation.
I am,
Yours sincerely.
