Dear Larry, Judy and John: I received a telephone call a few minutes ago from Bob Powers, one of the Boston attorneys representing Monsanto. He had checked with Monsanto on my behalf to find out whether they would be willing to furnish us with background information concerning Ruth Griffith and Harold Williams, the two people we lieve Tourtelotte has lined up to be his product identification witnesses. Bob found out that Harold Williams died about two months ago. With respect to Ruth Griffith, Bob will be meeting with a Monsanto official who has a file on Miss Griffith and, after he has looked it over, he indicated that he would make copies available to us. Sincerely, LM:DMB Lane McGovern PRIVILEGED AND "CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER" UCC 082335
