Dr. George \H. .Wheatley Metropolitan Life Insurance Conpany Hew York, HWXork PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT Dear Dr. Wheatley: MET-606 I a& tremendously Interacted in the report tV" on the tuberoulosle situation at Thetford and in the Provlnoe of Quebec. I hare not had opportunity to do more than scan it but it would oertainly appear that the data thus far eollected do not tend to incriminate the asbestos exposure as the primary cause of the excess of infection in Thetford. Dr. Cartier is coming down here at the end of the month and by that tine I shall have digested it and will discuss the situation with him. Z also hope to be seeing Dr. Lanza in Chicago shortly. For the moment I do not know of anyone else who should reoelTe a copy. Ve may be pretty sure that Mr. Sabourin will make certain of its wide-spread dissemination. I deeply appreciate your collaboration in this program and believe that by following through we are going to develop information which will be of scientific and practical value to everyone. Xou will be hearing from as anon, c. ' odihcerely vgours^ UJO:HH Leroy U. 3*. er, X. D. Director
