What it shows

The meeting with Gardner and Dr. A. J. Lanza of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company came just before Simpson wrote, on November 10, 1936, to other asbestos companies proposing that they join in sponsoring Gardner's asbestos dust studies at Saranac (see his letter to F. H. Schluter). Simpson's secretary confirmed the appointment in a letter to Lanza.
