A. S. Rossiter of Asbestos Magazine to Sumner Simpson Forwarding Elliott DeForest's Letter (1943)

A one-page letter of June 18, 1943, from A. S. Rossiter, editor of Asbestos, the industry's trade magazine, to Sumner Simpson, president of Raybestos-Manhattan. She passed on a copy of the Northwest Magnesia Association's letter to the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries, which the association's secretary, Elliott DeForest of the Asbestos Supply Company in Seattle, had sent the magazine without comment. "There does not seem to be anything we can do about it under the circumstances," she wrote, and offered to write DeForest if Simpson preferred.
