Sumner Simpson to Vandiver Brown Doubting Gardner's Report Will Come Soon (1946)

Raybestos-Manhattan's unsigned file copy of a short letter of November 29, 1946, from Sumner Simpson to Vandiver Brown of Johns-Manville. Simpson sent Brown the letter he had received from Saranac Laboratory, with its copy of the laboratory's letter to Brown ("I also thought it was time to check them up"). He had stopped at the laboratory that summer but had not seen Dr. Gardner. "It does not look to me as if we have very much prospect of getting the report for a long time to come."
