This is definitely a case of not having a choice oft medical representative and at the moment I -cannot see any other solution than that which I have indicated if we wish to go along with them. cannot use lead to make their aviation gasoline they will have to Import^lii-^^oia Perd at a tremen dous cost.

The only town of m y size in Bolivia where a dotto loroaching our requirements might be found Is La Paz and it is an expedition eviously I had arranged that the blender wouiu go to the rt&naard camp oa.tw ---^ but of course that is out rsfijw. It woulu be my sug gestion that we not attempt to name this man as a medical representative but that pr. Kehoe write bin explaining what examinations are required and request a report from him. This I know is not accepted procedure but seems indicated at least tea- oi-ariiy. f'uite possibly the only man fit to do the work will be the superintendent funoamentally ip sound in mind and body.Vi l l O f*w . -. vn.k.i".1-n 1 t!*. *< :sl1 --\m -i M 1 -3 ->V*r* V s -X Regarding the transportation* the Fluid will have to be sent to Buenos Aires. I liave promised to supervise the shipment from boat to train where it will go directly to the Argentine-Bolivian border at Yacuiba where the shipment .ill be met by a truen sent from the refinery with a nan to supervise the shipment to Caairi. Tue to the work involved, Y.P.F. deoieed to increase their order to 20 drums - they estimate this as a years supply. I shall try to get to La Paz and Caairi sometime soon to check on the .".-rk. ! ' the arrangement works out satisfactory I believe it will be easy to con vince them of the merits of lead for their motor gasoline also - although this will not be much. Attached is their order for the twenty drums in question.
