A one-page letter of October 14, 1980, from Robert A. Boardman, Johns-Manville's associate corporation counsel, to Curt Caton of Heller, Ehrman, White & McAuliffe in San Francisco. Boardman states that it is J-M's policy "to indemnify and hold harmless its present and former employees from all liabilities and expenses" arising from their employment, quotes the by-law on indemnifying officers, directors and employees as far as Delaware law permits, and hopes he has "allayed the concerns" of Caton's clients "in the above-referenced cases."

What it shows
The policy came up again in 1982, when Caton's firm advised J-M on what it must do to defend and indemnify its former attorney: Curtis M. Caton to Robert A. Boardman on Indemnifying Vandiver Brown, with Wondie Russell's Memo (1982).
