M. F. Judd to Vandiver Brown Agreeing to the Arrangement for Otto Binder (1936)

A one-page file copy of a letter of June 1, 1936, from M. F. Judd, secretary of Raybestos-Manhattan, to Vandiver Brown, Johns-Manville's general attorney. Judd thanked Brown for the courtesies shown to Sumner Simpson and himself at Brown's office on May 27; Simpson "was particularly impressed with the very fair way" in which Brown and a Mr. Williams "treated the subject under discussion." Brown's letter "outlines very accurately what was agreed upon," and Judd asked to hear when J-M had completed its arrangements with Otto Binder, the dust counter.

What it shows

The letter closes the agreement under which Johns-Manville would hire Binder when Metropolitan Life released him and lend him to Raybestos-Manhattan for dust checks. Judd promised to ask for Binder's time far enough ahead that it would not conflict with his work for J-M. Brown's letter setting out the terms is his letter of May 27, 1936.
