Dear [BLACKED OUT]

Your letter dated April 24, 1958, with enclosure, has been received. While I would like to be of service, I must advise that this Bureau has never investigated the "Hubbard Association of Scientologists, International, and I am unable to be of assistance to you.

NOTE: Correspondent not identifiable in Bufiles. Self-addressed stamped envelope being utilized in reply. We have not investigated the association named in this letter but Bufiles contain voluminous data regarding it and its founder L. Ron. Hubbard. Hubbard is [BLACKED OUT] He has corresponded with this Bureau on several occasions and we have been most circumspect in our dealings with him. His association allegedly has discovered dianetics, a means of treating psychosomatic ills, which Hubbard described as a discovery comparable to man's discovery of fire. (62-94080)
