( /} si UNITED STATES MARITIME COMMISSION . WASHINGTON 55 Shattuck St. Boston 15, Mass. November 17, 1944 Dr. Robert A, Kehoe Kettering Laboratory of Applied physiology Eden Avenue Cincinnati, Ohio Dear Bob; I sent your letter of October 51 on pentachlorophenol to our Lt. K. YL> Kelson, U. S. Maritime Commission, 310 S. Michigan, Chicago, who sends me the following note* "Some of the dermatoses from pentachlorophenol as seen by Dr. Sessions and me atthe Grebe shipyard a year ago did not appear to be exactly minor. To my knowledge there has been no trouble since a copper naglrthenate wood preservative replaced the CgClgOH." If you want to knov.* anything further from Lt. Kelson, I suggest you write him directly but so far as Maritime is concerned the matter probably will not come up again* f Sincerely yours. Cc: Lt. K. TT. Nelson Chief Health Consultant N22181
