A one-page letter of April 2, 1940, from Sumner Simpson, president of Raybestos-Manhattan, to Dr. Leroy U. Gardner, director of Saranac Laboratory. Simpson had read that Gardner would speak at the New England Health Institute in Hartford on April 17, on "The Effect of Various Dusts on the Human Organism." He wanted to send "a number of our men" and asked Gardner which dusts he would cover: "I don't want your speech in advance, but just the particular dust." The letter closes with talk of the Saranac snow and Simpson's winter in Florida.
