J. F. D. Rohrbach to W. H. Dunn Forwarding the Saranac Pledge Letters and Gardner's Report (1941)

A one-page letter of January 14, 1941, from J. F. D. Rohrbach of Raybestos-Manhattan at Stratford to W. H. Dunn, secretary and comptroller, at the Manhattan Rubber Mfg. Division in Passaic, New Jersey. Rohrbach enclosed a copy of Vandiver Brown's letter and his own reply on the company's Saranac pledge, and "a copy of Dr. Leroy U. Gardner's report," which he thought "should be read by those interested at Passaic," then passed on to Mr. Cilley at Manheim and returned to Sumner Simpson "for his files."

What it shows

The letter shows how Dr. Leroy Gardner's reports to the sponsors moved inside Raybestos-Manhattan: read at the Passaic plant, sent on to O. H. Cilley at the Manheim, Pennsylvania plant, and returned to Simpson. The report itself is not identified and is not in this file.
