The Kettering Laboratory College of Kedicine Eden Avenue Cincinnati 19, Ohio Dear Bob: * Thank you very much for your letter of May 29, 1950, I would certainly appreciate receiving anything you have in report or reprint form on your post graduate course which may be available, I understand quite well your reasons for not printing the material for general consumption but there seems to be so little authentic information on developments in lead intoxication in recent years that I believe tie papers you have would be very valuable. I amwondering when you are going to write a text book on lead intoxica tion that will bring us all up to date on the subject. Perhaps you already have this underway. I certainly hope so as I do not know of anyone better qualified to do the job than yourself. I appreciated very much your suggestion that I take part in your next course and would certainly like to do so if there is anything that I might be able to contribute. I think the only thing you and I may not be in agreement on is simply the results of our separate experience in industry* That is the only aspect of the lead problem that I feel I have any right to talk about. From every other angle I ama very ardent disciple of yours. I will be looking forward to seeing you in San Francisco. Kindest personal regards. Yours sincerely, LEH:np L. E. Kamiin, M, D. Medical Director May 29, 1950 Dr. L. E. HSmlln, Medical Director, American Brake Shoe Company, 2501 Blue Island Avenue, Chicago 8, Illinois. Dear Doctor Hamlin* Unfortunately the papers given In our post graduate course were not made available in typed or mimeographed form. This was the case for two reasons* (!) it was the first time around, and I thought it just as well to have a trial run before printing the material; (2) we did not ask all speakers to prepare manuscripts, but conducted the course as a regular academic course which is to be repeated as required. If you want anything we have in report or reprint fora, 1*11 be glad to send you the lot. Unfortunately again, because I've been so pressed for time, a great mass of material Is unpublished. This was presented in part, such as, for example, the data and discussion and tetraethyl lead poisoning as a general industrial and hygienic problem,and the observations made on the metabolism of lead that prove "deleading," by the most commonly suggested means, to be an impossibility. We expect to give the course again either this year or "next. Do you have any suggestions? For one thing, I'd like to have you take part, if you will. We may not be In agreement in all respects, but that won't detract from the interest In the matter or the value to students of the subjects. Sincerely yours, RAK ef Robert A* Kehoe, M."'d 7
