Re: E. J. Sinclair E. M. Grab
Dear Doctor Jacobson:
In accordance with a telephone conversation on Thursday, May 2, with your secretary, I am sending you under separate cover six x-ray films on Mr. E. J. Sinclair and ten x-ray films on Mr. E. M. Grab,
E, J. Sinclair: 9/3/64 3/8/66 2/23/67 9/29/70 6/29/72 12/20/73
E, M, Grab:
5/6/66 9/10/68 9/29/70 10/27/70 10/27/70 5/15/72
5/15/72 12/21/72 l/l 8/74 1/18/74
Both of these men are presently employed at a Union Carbide
asbestos mill in King City, California. A copy of the pertinent
medical record on each man is enclosed. On a recent visit to this
location I reviewed the medical records of all employees and found
these two which are questionable. The spirometry reported on each
had been unavailable locally until recently.

I am sending them to you so that you can give us your opinion
concerning the diagnosis for each, and if a diagnosis of asbestosis has not been made roentgenologically, what your recommendations would be.
The levels of chrysotile asbestos to which these men have been exposed were never excessive; and although the requirements have recently been lowered, we feel that we have maintained a safe work place from the start.

Any suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciated. Please send the bill for your consultation to me.
After these films have served their purpose, I would appreciate your returning them to the George L. Mee Memorial Hospital, 300 Canal Street, King City, California 93930.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
Very truly yours.
