Dear Dr Hehoe:
At last I have received, and send you at once, a
reprint of my article on Roman CUltuse and Dysgenic Lead Poison
ing, from Mankind Quarterly in Edinburgh. A rather similar recen
sion from the same Ms. was pub. in the Feb. Jol. of Occupational
Medicine? you may have seen a copy, but I did not get reprints
of this. I am trying to place it in an historical Journal also;
it restsjaow with Historia in Germany. QUite a number of requests
for reprints have come in, from American medical experts. I do
hope that you approve of the article.
I have also been hoping to receive your kind reply
to my letters of Jan. 10 and. earlier, asking your advice on my
next 8 bone specimens, and on the which-bone factor. Since the to
various bones store lead very unequally, it is obviously/rate the
specimens accordingly. This requires a comparative table of the
various bones of the body, as to their storing of lead. I suppose
such a table has been published, or at least prepared in your
N 6359
office. Can you not kindly supply me a copy or a citation % I
have various printed reports each covering several differnt bones,
but do not know the mathematical process for putting these together
with good accuracy, so that one could rate all the bones in pro-
portion^ one standard bone, say a rib.

I have been sorry to read, on p. 27a of the JOM,
of your retirement impending next September.
