Kehoe, Laboratory of Applied Physiology College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio. Dear Dr. Kehoe: I apologize for having delayed in acknow ledging receipt of your four papers on lead, which you submitted for the Journal. We have been over them carefully, and will publish them, if you agree, in the September and November issues. This delay is necessary as we now publish only six issue a year, and all our copy for the July issue is in. Even though your papers do not appear in the same issue, you may have reprints bound by the printer as a single unit, if you so desire. In view of your remarks on the Aub and Fair- hall work (second paper, page 14) and their subsequent publications, I think you -should give in detail your analy tical procedure showing where you consider that their methods require Msignificant modifications", and precisely why. Also, I suggest:ycu make clear in your analytical procedure what precautions you took -to make sure you were not determining some other metal instead of lead. Thi3 statement we will insert where you direct, one statement sufficing of course, for the series of papers. We will be glad to see your future papers on this general subject. Acceptance of the four you have sent us is conditional on our ability to get them in -under the allotted funds we have available, and should the printing cost exceed our allowance, we will let you know at once. We have a rigorous contract with the printers, and if we exceed the limits set we have to ask authors to pay the difference or else curtail their cuts and tables. The chances are that these will go through without extra expense, but we could not possibly take them in a single number. ' A i. PD.EL Sincerely yours, . <- r P h i l i p ,Drinker^ Managing Editor. April 13, 1933 Dr* Phillip Drinker Harvard School of Public Health 55 van Dyke Street Boston, Mass* Dear Doctor Drinker* Thanks for your letter of March 27th* I shall be pleased to have the articles appear as you have in dicated in the September and November issues of the Journal of Industrial Hygiene* In accordance with your request, I am getting together the material on the method which I should be very glad to present* I, too, felt it was wise to pub lish the method even though It has appeared formerly, and I omitted it only because the length of the papers made me feel that it would be difficult to have them aocepted for publication* I shall send you the copy on the method shortly, at which time I will indicate where I would like to have it go and will note certain alight alterations in the references which should be made as a result of its inclusion to any material* I neglected to mention in my letter aooompanylng the papers, that I hope eventually to get together a monograph in whloh I shall wish to make use of most, if not all, of the material of these papers* I should like to reserve the right to make use of the material for this purpose* I am sending you herewith another artiole which is properly to be grouped with the four papers which I have sent you, since It is the logical sequence in the application of our data to the Industrial problems involved in lead compounds* If it is at all possible, X should like to have this artiole appear at about the same time that the others oome out* I am working on one other artiole which I hope to have ready shortly which is the continuation of this work in its relation to the diagnosis of lead poisoning in indi vidual oases* From the point of view of medical practice, It is undoubtedly the most important of the articles and I hope to have it ready to submit to you in short order* X *' `[l hope it will not be necessary to delay its publication much beyond next fall and I should be very grateful to you, there fore, if you would let me know whether or not you would be interested in having it presented to you, If it can not be published for a long time, perhaps I should send It elsewhere* I am not, of course, asking for your attitude on a paper whioh you have not seen* I am thinking merely of the physical and financial difficulties involved in your acceptance of such a bulk of material as I have already transmitted to you for publication in the Journal* If it seems likely to you that you will wish to publish it, I shall naturally think seriously of sending it to you even though some considerable delay may be occasioned* Sincerely yours, RAKiIS
