The letter mailed to the East 54th Street apartment was opened Monday morning and contained some sort of substance, though the specific nature of that substance wasn't immediately clear. Three people were taken to a hospital as a precaution for observation after the FDNY responded shortly after 10 a.m. ...Investigators do not believe the substance is hazardous but are conducting a thorough probe out of an abundance of caution, the officials said. Details on the letter or its contents were not released.More as we hear it. UPDATE: Here's a report from CNN
