A one-page letter of March 20, 1937, from Sumner Simpson, president of Raybestos-Manhattan, to Vandiver Brown, Johns-Manville's attorney. Simpson had received J-M's invoice for the first quarter's payment "for the asbestos study by the Saranac Laboratory" and returned it with a copy of a letter from W. H. Dunn, explaining that he had told Dunn to send a check "for the full year," $666.67. He suggested that Brown change the invoice "to read a year's participation, receipt same, and return to us."
