Dear Sir:
I have received your air mail letter of February 3, 19^-3> concerning the difficulties of burning leaded gasoline in army cook stoves. Such information as I had available was transmitted this morning to Mr. S. 1,1. Wagner, local manager of the Ethyl Corporation. Mr. Wagner has stated that he will communicate direct with you by telephone and will foil or; up through his field contacts to obtain any additional information that you might desire.
The person in charge of all medical activities at the Desert Training Center is
Joseph E. Shelton, Colonel, Medical Corps S\irgeon, IVth Armored Corps Camp Young Indio, California.
You could probably obtain any direct medical information from him concerning their knowledge of possible unsatis factory health conditions arising from the use of the more heavily leaded gasolines in stoves under field conditions.
I will keep hr. Wagner informed of any additional information that might come to my attention.
