October 1* 1954. > '* \ Ve are establishing in this department a Division of Occupational Hygiene, one of the sain purposes of ehicb sill be to give advice and help to employers in the control of un healthy conditions caused by injurious substances used In industry. Be arc starting off lu a very snail say end intend to operate In as economical a manner us is consistent sith rendering real service. Ve are setting up a small chemical laboratory for the analysis of the materials *lth xhich we cone in contact in industry and rdll employ one chemist. Our cheaist, Dr. Hervey B. Elkins, is a young nan mno cones to us sith very high recommendations from the Harvard Department of Chemistry and the Harvard School of Puulic Health. His actual industrial experience has, hov/ever, been Halted to a summer as tecnnical assistant for the Atlantic Hef.ning Compui^. Because it is ay fim belief that the value of a laboratory nan doing such work is greatly enhanced through first-hand acquaintance with actual conditions in industry, I want to have Dr. Elkins sake a few visits to manufacturing plants in this state. Would you be willing to let ne send Dr. Elkins to your plant, to meet soae of your men ana devote such tine to the processes involving the more toxic chemicals as he feels sill be profitable to him? A day or ao spent in this say would, I an sure, be well *ortn nis while. I can promise you that Dr. Elkins is not the sort sho would make blaseIf in an}' way a nuisance in the plant. He is a highly intelligent young man anu will be quite as appreciative as sill I of any courtesies snosu ala. MasOI Sincerely yours. 2 PLAINTIFF'S It EXHIBIT Manfred Bo-ditch Director Division of Occupational Hygiene
