Copy of a letter acknowledging Marshall's May 24 letter about a Scientific American article on cancer, which quoted a report on environmental cancer by W. C. Hueper. McConnell wrote that articles claiming lung carcinoma was due to asbestos did not give much substantiating evidence, and that Metropolitan Life had not substantiated such claims in its work since 1930.
