Hi Leslie: Have A Secret Order and will review the Charles F. Gilroy.

Leslie: Albarelli mentions Edward Lawton Smith's military records and his daughter. Do you know who has a copy of his military records and how he was able to interview her?

Thank you for the information regarding Edward Lawton Smith. Never found any information about an Angleton using CMC in a counter-intel operation.

Have been reading his datebooks. Am looking for information on Albert Osborne, Camp X in Canada and Edward Lawton Smith.

Hi Leslie: Where is Lafitte's datebook?

Ron: The George White papers at Stanford have an affidavit regarding Jean Pierre Lafitte. it can be found on page 17 of this document. https://archive.org/details/jean-pierre-lafitte Here is a list of his documents at Stanford. https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/tf6k40059b/entire_text/ You can order copies of these documents by contacting specialcollections@stanford.edu. At the bottom pf the page is a list of digitized items including his address book. Lafitte's address is on page 39.

Document below is from the The Black Vault's huge MK Ultra file which can be download from: https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/cia-mkultra-collection/ The document mentions putting LSD in a city's water supply. https://archive.org/details/20240425_20240425_2248 Documentary on this event:

Do not know. The source document is a book that only lists the names of directors and executives and companies they are associated with.

Bloomfield was a director of New Continental Oil Company of Canada and Israel Continental Oil Co. and secretary of British Controlled Oilfields.

Yes that would make sense, Bloomfield probably provided legal advice to the Bronfman family. Why are you interested in Bloomfield's relationship with the Bronfman family?

Leslie: Did not find any Bronfman documents in my Bloomfield file, however when I was researching him I was focused on Permindex not the Bronfman family. Bloomfield was a well-connected lawyer and business man and am sure he knew them. His files are available online. If you want to review them I can show you how you can access them. Found a letter in my files that was sent to Allen Dulles regarding a resume received from Bronfman's daughter, Mindy. Found this letter in Dulles' papers that are available online. https://archive.org/details/dulles-bronfman

Bloomfield was not an attorney for Permindex, his role with this company was to represent the interests of some of its shareholders. I read Metta's book and wrote a book review. His book does not prove that Permindex had any connection to to Kennedy's assassination. https://www.kennedysandking.com/john-f-kennedy-reviews/the-canadian-archives-michele-metta-and-the-latest-on-permindex

Robert: What evidence do you have of his connection to Kennedy's assassination?

James Day has written an interesting article about the 7.65 Mauser. https://jamesfday.medium.com/the-jfk-assassination-hunting-down-the-mauser-6c30c8f6c6e5

James Day author of The Mad Bishops: The Hunt for Earl Anglin James and his Assassin Brethren has made a video about David Ferrie that premiered at the American Documentary and Animation Film Festival.

There are a lot of groups helping these children. This will provide us with a starting point for looking for Harvey.

Jim: Vassar College told me that they do not have Bentley's papers.

That fellow is sending you very good leads. That committee must have received many inquiries regarding the adoption of refugee children. If their records are available they may have the names of people who adopted them and the names of children who were adopted and one of them maybe Harvey.

Jim: That is a very interesting lead. Her position on that committee could have put her in contact with refugees.

Jim: Found some info on Edwin Burdick on Ancestry. Edwin died in 1976 and his wife died in 1991. They had a daughter named Gail who died in Tuscon, Pima Arizona in 1998. Not sure what the chances are of getting info on Bentley from people mentioned in her will. You can add it to the list for future reference. Do you know how Margaret Fuhrman met John Pic or anything about her Hungarian background? They had a son born in 1966, he may be able to shed some light on their relationship. Do you know when Edwin Ekdahl divorced Marguerite Oswald? NYPL is still processing my order.

Jim: Could be interesting to know why she was teaching there and when she was there. Maybe her teaching position was a cover job for an INS or FBI gave her assignment.

Bentley's left everything to her cousin Edwin Burdick or his descendants. https://archive.org/details/bentley-will

Jim: I did not order copies of the NYC telephone directory. You can use the link I sent you to login and place your order. Provide them with the names and dates and they will tell you how much it will cost to copy them.
