P. S. I. BARRY ChiefMedical Officer Dear Dr. ICehoe, OURREF. D U / A . 3 . 1 YOURREF. Vfch January, i 9 6 0 . This is the first letter I have had occasion to write to you following Philip Loyd's resignation from the Company last August. ` o were exceedingly sorry to see Philip go; indeed it was s sad blow to too Company as a whole but particularly* to us in the medics! .epartmsnt. However, although at the tire of his leaving us he was somewhat confused as to the trend of his future career, I am sure he will ro-oriontate quickly and make a real success of whet he has chosen to do. . .-.Iso, as I think you probably know, John Do ran has left us. He left in mid December and started work in a hospital in Chester as an intern in midwifery and gynaecology with a view to gaining experience in this subject over the next six months before returning to general . practice, probably in this area. I have been able to find 5 replacement for John Doran and we now have two full-time doctors only in th Company. Last week I received a publication of a report of yours from hr. Devan purporting to relate to the additional b-th cc. of tetraethyl lead per U.C. gallon that has recently had the approval of the U.S. burgeon General. However, on starting to read the report I found that it concerned s iie-3 1 survey undertaken, this last summer on relative tonicities of tetraethyl lead and tetromethyl load, and realising that this must have been sent to us in error I have passed the report back to hr. Sevan who is returning it to you. I have discussed briefly certain aspects of the report with Dr. Turner, our Industrial Hygienist attached to the Department, but no-one else, apart from the Managing Director, has beer.*made aware of it. I shall be visiting the United States in July and august of this year to attend the Fourth Conference of the Industrial Council for Tropical Health at the Harvard School of public Health, Boston, and the 13th International Congress rn Occupational Health in Hew York. I should very much welcome the opportunity of meeting you again at the lettering Institute in Cincinnati if you are available then, and of meeting a number of my old friends there. I also aim to see Philip thoug I sn not too sure where he will be at that time. Pith kindest regards to yourself and Mrs. ICehoe, Yours very sincerely, N96S4
