Dear Dr. Wheatlys- Dr. Burnette has passed along to me a copy of the very in teresting study cf tuberculosis mortality in Thetford Mines, P.Q,., nhich you bare recently made. I think this is a very excellent report. This should tend to clear up any tendency to blame the high death rate for tuberoulosie in this area on the asbestos industry. The report nill also be helpful in focussing attention on that locality and I am nondering if it nould be possible to interagt the provincial group to undertake a community survey there. ~ With kind regards, sincerely, GJW/S. lerrett, M.D., Executive Secretary.
