I have your letter with its enclosures concerning the case of Mr* flHHHBh an employee of the Hatlcnal Defining Company at Coffeyville* Kansas* In view of the Information givens toother with that contained in your exchange of telegrams* it soems highly inadvisable for us to take any direst action at this time which would tend to Indicate any suspicion on our part that the ill ness could properly bo attributed to lead absorption* It seems rather clear to no that lead absorption is in no way responsible for his illness* It appears' that there is a difference in the point of view of the two doctors oho have seen Mr*^BBfc*.*: and frea the information given about Dr** Fortner*s opinion* I doubt very much if any evidences of lead absorption were found. `i'ho statement that the doctor advised ,fa series of shots11 for the treatment of the disease seems rather, Incompatible with the diagacsis .of lead poisoning*' Therefore I should advise you to ask the national Refining Company to make further Investigation of the facts on their own Initiative** obtaining such Infor mation from the physicians as will enable thorn to pass along to us something better than pur hearsay infor mation. With such information we shall then be able to decide whether there is any point in our looking into the matter further** Very truly yours* HAD sis co Mr* Lewis Robert"' A 00*: "5*)* -
