Vandiver Brown to M. F. Judd on U.S. Gypsum's Interest in the Saranac Experiments (1937)

A one-page letter of February 5, 1937, from Vandiver Brown, Johns-Manville's general attorney, to M. F. Judd, secretary of Raybestos-Manhattan, acknowledging copies of Judd's correspondence with Gatke, Gillies and Blume about "the underwriting of Dr. Gardner's experiments." Brown reported that he had recently met Mr. Offutt, assistant to the president of U.S. Gypsum Company, who said the company was interested in taking part "to a limited extent." Once the others had signed, Brown would send Offutt the agreement himself, with a description he could present to Mr. Knode.
