Vandiver Brown to Sumner Simpson on the Seven Sponsors of the Saranac Experiments (1936)

A one-page letter of December 28, 1936, from Vandiver Brown, Johns-Manville's general attorney, to Sumner Simpson, president of Raybestos-Manhattan, thanking him for "the very good news that seven members of the industry have to date agreed to share in the underwriting of Dr. Gardner's asbestos dust experiments." Once the whole list had been canvassed and he had the original agreement, Brown would invoice the other subscribers "for their pro rata portion of the first quarterly payment of $1250 made by Johns-Manville Corporation on behalf of the group."
