Johns-Maiwiile = Twenty-Two East Fortieth Street New York.N.Y. . ssi . PRODUCTS ^ * October 3, 1935 I Mr. S. Simpson, President, Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc., Bridgeport, Conn. S My dear Mr. Simpson: * I wish to acknowledge receipt of yours of October 1st enclosing copy of the September 25th letter from the editor of the magazine "ASBESTOS". I quite agree with you that our interests are best served by having asbestosis receive the minimum of publicity. Even if we' should eventual ly decide to raise no objection to the publication of an article on asbestosis in the magazine in question, I think we should warn the editors to use American data on the subject rather than English. Dr. Lanza has frequently remarked, to me personally and in some of his papers, that the clinical pic ture presented in North American localities where there is an asbestos dust hazard is considerably milder than that reported in Englandand South Africa. I believe the question raised by Miss Rossiter might well be considered at the committee meeting scheduled . for next Tuesday, at which I understand both you and Mr. Judd will be present. (- Very truly yours. Vandiver Brown Attorney. 005202 A \vi~
