`JSW:MAL 65-3115-1 [?]` May 24, 1940 Mr. L. Ron Hubbard 243 Riverside Drive New York, New York

    Dear Mr. Hubbard,

                  I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter
    dated May 16, 1940, for which I am most appreciative.

                  I am referring this matter to Mr. P.E. Foxworth,
    Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation,
    United States Department of Justice, 607 W. S. Court House,
    Foley Square, New York, New York, who will have an Agent
    of that Office call upon you in the near future to determine
    whether the information in your possession indicates the
    violation of a Federal Statute coming within the investigative
    jurisdiction of this Bureau.
Very truly yours, John Edgar Hoover, Director CC - New York (with copy of incoming)
