August 31-i 1937 Mr. James Van Every 1 6 ^ 2 .Hanna Building Cleveland, Ohio Dear Mr* Van Every; In reply to your letter of August 27 I w ish to state that a necropsy was performed on f l j M f l H H H H H H B b y Dr. H. G. Pritaker at the Huron EoadiHSpTPa^'T H ^ T ^ m a y he possible for you to obtain a copy of his report by communicating with him. I do not believe that it is a general practice for necropsy reports to be made public or separated from the general hospital records, nor do I see what particular interest it is to your company to have this record. The clinical diagnosis on Xriyncvich was acute lead intoxication and in view of, the fact that there is no characteristic pathological picture to be found in death from this condition, it would seem that not much would be gained from the report in question, other than such benefit as might be Obtained by the exclusion of evidence of other diseases. 111 I am afraid that I cannot send you a copy of the chemical analyses which we carried out on the material which was furnished us. Theseanalytical results are natters;, of scientific interest only and are of course subject to Interpretation only in the light of similar cases and similar observations upon individuals who have not had lead exposure, Very truly yurs, WHi:vr Willard F. Machle. il. D. 00176
