Mr. J. Edgar Hoover Director of F.B.L Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. Hoover:

Enclosed is a copy of a Lecture sent to me from Detroit. I think it is the most fascinating Research ever made.

In your busy life you may not have encountered it, so I thought I would send you a copy.

Why doesn't the Government come out with the truth about unidentified Flying Objects?

Everybody seems to accept the "Saucers" as a matter of course, and people are becoming annoyed at the "ostrich stance" our Leaders have taken about them.

A number of clergymen feel that the time has come for someone to answer intelligently and sincerely the public's inquiries. They have gone to "The Book"-the Sacred Bible where man can always find the answers to all his needs, doubts, fears--and inquiries!

I have heard many people say that you probably have all the answers--but I suppose you have been throttled too!

I'm so glad you refused to accept the invitation to run for President. You would have been a good one--(if you could be let alone)--but sordid Party politics would have engulfed you too much.

To the Legions of your admirers you stand too High are too clean and honest to become so involved.

Thanks to Almighty God there are character Influences like you still standing on the same firm ground of our Forefathers.

Each day now a few more chips are knocked off the pillars of Learning, High morals, decent behavior and honest standards. Where can it all end? The days are becoming wearisome and fearful; surely the repercussions are shaking the outer walls of even Our Father's House.

I wonder what the God of Our Fathers is going to do about
