larch 22,1987, Dr, Graham Edgar, 320 Yonkers St*, Yonkers, U* Y, My dear Dr, Edgar: Dr, Crudgington reported to me on his returnfrom the east, that on of your employ ees, Mr* was apparently in,|a rather bad state as a^rSSSKof drinking too. smicmalcohollc bever age, He was apparently, not very far Amoved from a condition in which delir#na tremens could be.produced by almost any Injury or filness. It is scarcely worth while for me to point out to you that delirium tremens or less severe acute alcoholism might be very much mis understood in the case of one of your employees, I merely mention, the matter because it may* not have come to your attention from any other source* I do not pre sume to give any advice whatever on the subject beyond this mere mention* I was very much pleased to discover in the course of a conversation with Mr, Webb a few days ago, that you are going to Great Britain, Quite natural ly I am not in the slightest upset at the Inconvenience of having to go, and it will be all the nicer sine you are going too. We have practically completed the work In connection with the investigation for the year, and I am now working on the data to see what can be made of it*;. Up to the plresent,I. have found nothing suggestive of public hasard from the handling and the use of Ethyl Gasoline, and it is perfectly safe to state that our re sults Indicate exactly the same things as have been shown by our previous results and by those of the Surgeon Generals committee, This will be no surprise to you, I am sure, but it will.probably be of some interest* w are con tinuing with experiments along several lines which are yielding some interesting results. However, they have very little to do with the dangers of tetraethyl lead or Ethyl Gasoline, but are quite interesting with the gener al problem of lead poisoning* I hope to be able to re port soon on our experimental work on tribromanallne.
