A short letter of November 4, 1941, from J. F. O'Brien, general manager of the John B. Pierce Foundation in New York, to Sumner Simpson, president of Raybestos-Manhattan. O'Brien was "very glad to comply" with Simpson's request for two copies of the book "Pneumoconiosis (Silicosis) The Story of Dusty Lungs" and sent them under separate cover. Handwritten notes on the letter appear to route one copy to Mr. Cilley and one to another reader.
