Johns-Manville Twenty-Two East Fortieth Street New York.N.Y. SS) ('MOOIICTS PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT December 24, 1934 Mr. M. F. Judd, Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc., Bridgeport, Conn. Re; Preliminary Metropolitan Report Dear Hr. Judd; I am afraid that my telephone call to your secre tary last Thursday resulted in the return of the galley proof of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's preliminary study beforfe'you had an opportunity to examine it; however, I believe you will agree that under the circumstances it was best to com ply with Dr. Lanza's request that It be returned promptly. He had received word from Dr. Sayers in hashington that unless the proof were returned to them with suggested changes and corrections by Monday of this week it would be printed as it stood. It seems It is scheduled for inclusion In some govern mental publication that will appear on December 28th. I think that Hr. Hobart and I together canvassed fairly thoroughly the points in the proof to which we could justifiably suggest additions, omissions or changes in phraseology that will be beneficial from the Industry viewpoint. The interest of your Company in the Report is identical to that of JohnsManville and it, therefore, follows that whatever we may be able to accomplish will be for the benefit of both. I am enclosing a copy of my letter to Dr. Lanza returning the galley proof to him. nclosure RA > 1939 C 05215;
