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
