A short letter of March 23, 1939, from W. H. Dunn, comptroller of Raybestos-Manhattan at Passaic, New Jersey, to May O'Rourke of the Raybestos Division in Bridgeport. Dunn had passed for payment Johns-Manville's $166.67 bill "for the study of asbestosis for the first quarter of this year." He added that the last Saranac report on record in his file was the one Sumner Simpson had sent A. F. Townsend on May 13, 1937, and that Simpson would "doubtless like to have this brought to his attention."

What it shows

By the spring of 1939 Raybestos-Manhattan had been paying its quarterly share of the Saranac Laboratory study for more than two years. The comptroller's note shows that the only written report in his file was Dr. Gardner's first progress report of May 1937 (sent to Townsend), though Gardner had sent a further progress report in December 1938 (December 1938 report).
