Vandiver Brown to Leroy U. Gardner Acknowledging the Interim Report on Experimental Asbestosis (1939)

Vandiver Brown, Johns-Manville's general attorney, acknowledged on December 18, 1939, Dr. Leroy Gardner's letter of December 14 and "the very interesting 'Interim Report on Experimental Asbestosis'" enclosed with it. Brown planned to send copies to "the various members of the group which has been sponsoring these experiments - ten in number" and asked for four more sets of the illustrations. On another year's funding he wrote that it "will have to be considered by the group," so he could give no definite answer yet. Sumner Simpson of Raybestos-Manhattan received a copy.
