PERTH
Dear Dr. Letham T oH
Thank you for your letter of 20th
September re Asbestosis at Wittenoon Gorge which was waiting for me on my return from overseas
I had hoped to see you during my
.
subsequent visit to Perth to cover the points you
rather mentioned but this did not happen as I was
on the treadmill
I will certainly reinforce your opinion with Dr. Rennie and I think this will be best done personally as I am bound to see him during one of my visits to Sydney
your own hands by legislation occupation
The other remedies are of course in and I am sure if not already covered could be for this most hazardous
I am
sincerely Yours sincerely
"-
