DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION: Letter to Mr. Cummings from Dr. Lanza Stating It Likely Won't be Possible to Publish the Asbestosis Study
Date: 4/11/33 Title: Letter Author: Lanza Receiver: Cummings Comments: "I talked it over with Sayers and he feels very strongly that if you and the Saranac Laboratory are going to stay in the: consulting business with respect to the mining industry, it will not toe possible for you to publishe these papers, at least at the present time. I myself somewhat reluctantly feel inclined to agree with him. H
HIn that respect, as I pointed out, you are in the same position as we are with the investigations we have meade in the asbestos industry.M
