f Johns -Manville Manville. New Jersey April 26th, 1932 Dr. F. V. Meriwether, Surgeon in Charge, Bureau of Mines, Cooperative Clinic, Pieher, Oklahoma. Dear Siri This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of April 19th, also box containing 330 films which wars received yesterday. We note in your findings on positive cases, you use the term "Asbestosis". Unfortunately, we did not tell you the complete story as to the past history of the employees, whose pictures you interpreted. The greater majority of these cases have their past history complicated by other dust occupations, principally coal mining. The box of films which we are sending you today by express prepaid, con taining 464 films, has on the reverse side of each card the past history of the employee. If the past history is insignificant, there is no notation on the reverse side of the card, fs hope that this additional information will help you in your interpretations, and possibly may aid you in trying to find some difference between Asbeatosis and ths other forms of Pneumoconiosis. We are attaching hereto a list of these 464 films being shipped today, which you may use for checking. In oar examinations at the plant of fluorosoopy, etc.. Dr. Sabetelle has been calling eases with no significant past history "Asbeatosis", and oases with a history of previous dust occupations have been called "Pneumoconiosis", because of the impossibility of deciding where the dust infection occurred. This has been done because passing an opinion of Asbeatosis on a patient who previously worked in dust brings up a medical legal problem before us. For this reason, we would like to have something similar to this in your opinions* Unfortunately, you have already completed the first 330 films. We ibel that the same should be done with those. We can either return the cards alone, with the past history on the back, or if you wish and it is necessary, we can again return the films. We also note on the X-Ray cards that you did not sign them. In order that these records may be of any value to us, it is felt the signature of the interpreter should be on the findings. Possibly, you did not sign these cards for a good reason, but we would appreciate an expression from j in this regard. Very truly yours AHtClw -f ssa a&x 125 IMS 34B 123 2006 372 20? 611 750 220 0514 805 240 245 52? 1868 1870 2029 246 1858 255 1865 155 277 145 1982 586 2000 566 595 565 286 405 1991 485 526 1228 1096 0165 20 1231 1615 502 1734 664 513 665 1129 667 673 1468 1105 1295 1151 1508 549 555 1141 1130 1725 1672 1161 682 1178 506 663 670 494 84 158 1108 60 65 310 146 1155 506 24 1089 67 8047 610 452 402 424 282 287 156 160 165 510 626 512 156 69 71 487 101 2048 2044 2057 2005 285 T^AV wrnrR-RPa 292 445 294 422 154 1183 1473 18 16 38 1150 1254 1292 1138 1149 289 2022 2033 291 313 298 266 252 1999 418 26 339 140 1256 0255 7 1244 52 1252 537 541 661 686 761 1080 1639 688 816 0141 730 783 765 1093 70 1288 609 1203 1760 1220 603 1173 727 69Q 28 1253 767 529 21 692 773 696 514 1470 40 48 1504 1471 572 142 2039 1272 186 1303 2083 741 1320 796 151 428 1306 1257 182 419 100? 168 338 1610 426 797 325 748 604 163 14 605 777 170 697 718 674 698 27 1311 327 190 181 1563 1681 1688 35 164 73 1077 191 169 1349 1483 250 1707 1464 82 1994 1705 1692 1456 1594 129 1475 1592 1460 1406 1461 1402 1408 547 1466 576 1078 1085 1698 1715 W 1409 1206 1711 1552 625 1204 957 1979 1752 1469 1053 1210 1066 1726 485 1217 1476 456 1606 722 720 1761 1407 1718 173 172 84 952 431 1521 305 1262 1500 1273 392 1155 1524 1565 1111 544 1552 433 400 404 152 1258 <11 1405 737 1693 629 1114 734 723 1120 1207 1641 415 758 724 421 762 1158 436 1170 1590 1208 1539 1159 619 1213 451 1167 1484 1435 786 1410 1691 611 615 1264 1558 1122 1145 1326 459 2028 1326 1260 1160 790 1478 774 1486 1472 948 1736 738 530 495 1705 1481 1853 743 1090 lfl9 2097 1512 771 1589 1494 1209 1449 1094 786 482 1419 475 739 1633 1216 1079 1740 507 1680 2040 2015 1275 976 U4l 121i 791 1M1 1701 1227 1216 lltt 1206 1169 491 1266 1164 064 460 1291 1667 1664 1102 426 1404 1129 1666 1266 1662 1224 1667 1416 Ml 1266 1422 1414 U 1619 1446 I960 1964 1444 911 966 661 1269 617 1716 455 1487 1583 622 1613 1006 1765 461 1696 1666 975 1469 1699 1746 622 1687 1671 626 764 766 472 746 1669 1406 600 1620 1602 274 317 87 1495 rapaag. NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION uJo ail tn mijom ttyes? prFHFnta Bijall romF.
