FROM THE FILES OF THE FBI #20
May 9, 1958
[ADDRESS BLOCK BLACKED OUT]
Dear [BLACKED OUT]
Your letter dated April 28, 198, 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.
Sincerely yours,
[stamp] J. Edgar Hoover
John Edgar Hoover
Director
NOTE: Correspondent not identifiable in Bufiles. Stamped
self-addressed envelope being used for reply. L. Ron Hubbard, who
has been described as mentally ill, has given widespread publicity
to his Association which alleges that mental illness can be cured
through a new system of treatment he developed. He states that his
discovery is to present-day man equivalent to what the discovery
of fire was to primitive man. We have not investigated this
association though files contain numerous citizen inquiries
regarding it.
