March 11, 1933 Dr* Philip Drinker 'Harvard, School of Public Health 55 Van Dyke Street Boston, Mass* Dear Doctor Drinker: 1 am sending you herewith four articles of a series "0n the Normal Absorption and Excretion of Dead" which I should like to publish in the Journal of Industrial Hygiene* Ih immediate relationship of present articles to Industrial hygiene may not be apparent at once* However, I am preparing several further articles which with these will summarize the principal findings in our experimental wcark on lead over a period of a number of years * The present ones form the basis for comparison with the findings is a number of lead trades# `i'hey are, therefore, essential as a base line* X recognize that the length of this group of articles and the number of tables Involve difficulty In publication, particularly in these somewhat restricted times* However, I should not feel justified In publishing them at all without the data which will permit of their critical examination* Moreover, I wish to publish the entire series in the same journal if it is at all possible* I can hardly expect them all to appear in the same Issue, though that would be an advantage* If they are unsatisfactory for the Journal of Industrial Hygiene In their present form, or If they can not all be used, I would appreciate your returning all of them to me for seme other disposition* It occurs to me further that you and your associates may feel that it is imperative that the analytical methods be described In detail in association with these articles. I hay omitted these purely in the interest of brevity, and for the further reason that the methods have been described adequately elsewhere* I should be pleased if you could find it possible to publish these articles and I should he grateful. Indeed, U 8utg!ai3ni!SuSfiS8v?f'W l5??llfi5bSSoi8F g&!Sf to the same critical examination which present articles will doubtless receive* Very truly yours.
