Dear Sir:- The enclosed anonymous communication stating that the destruction of the dirigible‘'Hindenburg" was caused by a bomb placed by Captain|Letman of that vessel was received at this Division today. I am not familiar with the extent of the Bureau's participation in the investigation belng held to determine the cause of the destruction of the "Hindenburg" but in view of the possibility that this anonymous communication might be of value, I am forwarding it for the purpose of examination for latent prints, if this is deemed desirable. In opening the mail, this letter has been hanaida by Miss Pauline Shoobs, stenographer in this Division, and by Assistant Special Agent in Charge T. J. Donegan. There is a remote possibility that this anonymous communication was forwarded by one of the members — of the crew, and it might be deemed advisable to compare any latent prints found thereon with the fingerprints of the survivors. A copy of this communication 1s being forwarded to the Newark Division. mee METTON CONTAINED Very truly yours, Te eae te PET OEY SLASSITF an “qiis- 8 ispiesee —— R UO Datey R.
