January 9, 1948 Dr. Robert A. Kehoe, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati (19) Ohio Dear Dr. Kehoe: I was delighted to have your letter relative to ;.:r. an employee of Standard oil Company. I have the following information on r.r. Patterson. I saw him twice, on the 8th of November, and on the 21st of November, 19li7 He was referred to me by his local physician. Dr. Price H Duff of 1110 Buchanan Street, of this city. In my opinion, Mr.had a contact der matitis involving the hands and forearir^^^Ie gave a history of this having developed after he had cleaned out a gasoline tank which had been unused, and I think. Idle for several years. The second time 1 saw him, he had gotten considerably better but had developed some secondary infection in the area of dermatitis. It 'was not I who had the urine examined for lead, but I do not know whether it was Dr. Duff, or Dr. 1'orrissey 'who had this done. I am aware of the features of lead poisoning which you point out, and it was no thought of mine that he had systemic plumbisa from having been in contact with gasoline. I am sorry that I cannot be of more help to you. Sincerely yours. Rlfflsh 001606-4 ie .e ia.tis, ed at s- jons Is fe. t if ic I nder een he h o f 3
