Re: Eastern Diversified Metals SiteHometown, Schuylkill County, PA ' •

Dear Mr. Barba:

Subsequent to my letter to you of July 3, 1986, I received informationfrom a third party which led me to again have .Duke Power Company search itsfiles and records for information concerning the Eastern Diversified site inSchuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Upon a further review, Duke Power Companyfound the attached bill of lading. It was found in a "forms" file and wasdiscovered in an old desk. Records during the 1970's have now beendestroyed.

In addition, enclosed are copies of documents Duke Power Company filedin Diversified Industries v. American Telephone & Telegraph Co., et al., towhich Duke was not a party. The enclosures are: Affidavit of Joseph A.Ray; Affidavit of Joseph.A. Ray dated 1-11-82; letter of Joseph A. Ray dated1-8-82; Exhibit A to Notice of Deposition; Plaintiff's Cross ExaminationQuestions; and various workpapers of Joseph A. Ray.

If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

Very truly yours,
