July 8, 1942 Mr. Chester H. Allen, The HIlton-Davls Chemical Company, 2255 Langdon Farm Hoad, Cincinnati, Ohio. Dear Mr. Allen: I am ruite familiar with the case of your employee, r, who was removed from lead exposure, not because of any Liness, but rather because he showed evidence of a considera ble lead absorption. . I think the question here is not so much whether or not Shouse has returned to normal, as it is whether or not the lead exposure will be adequately controlled in the future. It is fair to say that the lead content of his tissues will not be normal in this length of time. On the other hand, he was not ill when Dr. Ashe saw him, and there is no reason to suppose that he will develop lead poisoning, if the lead exposure is adequately controlled. If you have any doubt on the latter score, I would suggest that you send Shouse in for a cursory examination and for the analysis of samples of blood and urine. He can then be rechecked similarly at a later date, and thus, we shall know exactly what the extent of his lead ex posure i s . I leave it entirely to you as to whether this is necessary, since it appears from the record and from my memory of the case, that the exposure was unnecessary and that it can easily be eliminated. Cordially yours, RAK ef ^oberlTA'.'Kefroe m, M7T) 7 XE" 0009078
