A one-page letter of November 25, 1936, from Sumner Simpson, president of Raybestos-Manhattan, to Vandiver Brown, Johns-Manville's general attorney. Simpson acknowledged Brown's letter of November 23 enclosing the memorandum of agreement with Dr. Leroy U. Gardner, said he had signed it, and wrote that, at Brown's suggestion, he was sending it to F. E. Schluter of Thermoid "so that he may obtain the signatures of the other companies participating." He asked Schluter to return it to Brown once the others had signed.
