A one-page covering letter of February 3, 1943, from E. H. Jeffords, general manager of Raybestos-Manhattan's General Asbestos & Rubber Division at North Charleston, to Sumner Simpson, the company's president, headed "Resurvey of the plant at North Charleston," with copies of two letters. In the first, of February 1, J. William Fehnel, chemist of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's Industrial Hygiene Laboratory, wrote that the request for a resurvey had been approved and that he was "tentatively scheduling this survey for April." In the second, Jeffords thanked Fehnel and said he looked forward to seeing him in April.

What it shows
Fehnel wrote that during the absence of Dr. Lanza and Dr. McConnell he was "in full charge of the Industrial Hygiene Laboratory and field services," so no other form of request was needed, and that he would be at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the next week for Armstrong Cork Company and Raybestos-Manhattan's U.S. Asbestos Division. Jeffords had asked for the survey on January 21 (his letter to Metropolitan Life), a few weeks after writing to Lanza and Fehnel about a former worker's asbestosis claim (his letter of December 29, 1942).
