Dear Dr. Kehoe: I appreciate your giving time to go over our first annual report and I thank you for troubling yourself to write me your comment. The item to which you refer on page #14> table #3 , under lead poisoning is misleading, although it is a statement of fact. I have eoimnunicated with you about one of the seven cases listed there. These men were employed to clean out a tank which up to that time had been used for storage of tetraethyl gasoline located at a service station. Perhaps we should have a separate classification for tetraethyl lead poisoning and use some other designation other than ''garages or service stations". You may have a suggestion to make about such a designation. If so, please let me have it. Sincerely yours, RH:MMS. Raymond Hussey, M.D.
