Mr. James S. Krick, thyl Gasoline Corporation, Chrysler Building, New York City. D^ar Mr. Krick: I have just received a letter from a Dr. Caleb H. Smith, or Bradford, Pennsylvania, s aying that he has just examined a who was sent to him you to determine w h e t n e ^ ^ ^ n o ^ h e had lead poisoning. Quite apart from the outcome of this examination, which was negative, the statement that you arranged for the examina tion seems such a wide departure from any of the policies of the Corporation that I am writing you at once to find out if it is true, and if so, what were the circumstances. I would ordinarily talk to Dr. Schradin about this natter be fore writing you, since you and he may have had some under standing about it, but since he is in the west, it seemed wise to write you directly to find out what had occux'red between you and Dr. Smith. . Very truly yours, Robert A. Kehoe, M. D. RAX ef 0004520 Ca l e b H. S m it h . M. D. Od d Fe l l o w s Bu il d in g Br a d f o r d , pa . January JO, 1942 Dr. Robert A.
