A one-page letter of August 1, 1975, from F. B. Libbe of the Chicago law firm Kirkland & Ellis to Dennis Markusson at Johns-Manville's Denver headquarters, about Ceas v. Johns-Manville (Court No. 72 L 5843). Libbe reports that the firm had obtained the plaintiff's X-rays taken in November 1974: "We really have no right to these films without a Court Order but we have procured them anyway. I hesitate to mail them because if they are lost we are going to look terrible." A Dr. Cugell had sent the films, and Libbe wanted them back at Northwestern University Hospital as soon as they had served J-M's purposes.
