M. F. Judd to Metropolitan Life Confirming the Bridgeport Plant Dust Survey (1935)

A one-page letter of June 13, 1935, from the general manager of Raybestos-Manhattan's Bridgeport, Connecticut, plant (initialed MFJ, for M. F. Judd) to Mr. Petrick of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Confirming their conversation that morning, Judd agreed that "Messrs. Fehnel, Ferry and Binder" would start a survey of the plant on Tuesday, June 18, "as suggested by Dr. McConnell," and asked that they ask for Mr. Pope when they arrived.

What it shows

In 1935 Metropolitan Life's industrial health staff came back to Raybestos-Manhattan's plants to measure the dust again; Metropolitan Life had made its 1930 study of the Bridgeport and Stratford plants. Dr. William J. McConnell had written to Sumner Simpson, president of Raybestos-Manhattan, a few days earlier that J. William Fehnel would start at Bridgeport on June 18 (McConnell's letter). This letter settles the date and the plant contact.
