Dear Sir: You have been referred to ue by Dr. J. P. Leake, surgeon in charge of the office of Tetraethyl Lead Investigation, of the Public Health Service at Washing ton, D. C . , as one who has been actively engaged in the study oIVthe subject of Ethyl Gasoline. We represent an insurance company who issued a policy of compensation insurance upon a'gasoline station, and an employee of that station alleges that during the month of June, 1328, while he was. draining Ethyl Gasoline out of an automobile, .some splashed in his eyes, with the result that he has lost the entire vision of his left eye end practicall y all the vision in his right eye. There is no question but that this man has lost the vision he claims, but it is our contention that the Ethyl Gasoline could not have been responsible for this result. We would very much appreciate being advised by you as to whether, or not, in your study upon the subject of Ethyl Gasoline you have had brought to your attention any cases similar to this. We would also like to have your opinion as to whether, or not, if Ethyl Gasoline comes into contact with the eyes loss of vision end blindness will result, .' Your early attention to this matter vri.11 be very much appreciated, - .
