I am writing to ask about Flying Saucers reading material that is being sent through the mail. I am wondering if some of this material might be communist inspired, or is it alright to receive. If you would please send me a list that might be subversive I would appreciate it-since I certainly do not want to receive any such communists inspired material.

Yours Truly,
