You name has been suggested by Dr. H* H* Kessler of the New Jersey rehabilitation Clinic, as one of the leading authorities in the United States on lead poisoning* For the purpose of ob taining reliable and impart id opinions we have prepared a short questionnaire covering the medico-legal aspect of this subject, two copies of which are attached* 7/e will greatly appreciate your courtesy if you will return one copy with your comments* It is our intention to use a summary of the replies in discussing ON ro the administration of the law with the Commissioner of Labor on Saturday, December 5, 1951, but you will not be quoted directly unless your assent is indicated* Yours very truly THOMAS A.
