UNIVERSITY C COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE DEPARTMENT OF VETERINARY PHYSIOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55101 May 5, 1965 Dr. Robert A. Kehoe, Director The Kettering Laboratory College of Medicine University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, Ohio Dear Doctor Kehoe: I was greatly disappointed in finding that you could not be with us during what proved to be the last day of the Werley vs. Price trial, i Your commentaries on the proceedings were even more instructive than the trial itself. As you may have been informed, a settlement was made at a level considerably below that originally claimed by Mr. Werley. During our drive back to Philadelphia Howard Gittis and I agreed that there probably had been some lead poisoning involved. It appears that some additional analyses performed on cattle livers and kidneys were quite high in lead content. I am not clear as to why these were not introduced in evidence. The creek is to be fenced off at the joint expense of the two parties. If there are further occurrences with solid analytical confirmation, that little creek will at least be absolved. You are welcome to keep the photocopies. In fact, I am forwarding Part II of Blaxter and Allcroft to complete your set. To me, that remains the classic so far as lead poisoning in cattle is concerned. I, in turn, thank you for your booklet, which will be a valuable addition to my file. I join you in the hope that we may meet again soon to renew an acquaintance which has been for me a distinct pleasure and honor. Sincerely, P. B. Hammond, Professor _ Department of Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology as N5350
