Dear Bruce Lasko

Your letter and the valuable clippings came here promptly but I have not had time

to respond or to do more them ukim the headlines. AAA October I was hospitalized with what turned oat to be a vary heavy

phlebitis. The damage is permanent. limits what I can do and requires thet I make an effort to get more rest. Most nights I get 6-7 hours no4. Or, I work a long day. I'm in ccext on soveral FOIA cases and I do try to write. 8o I hope you can understand that it is not impoliteness that edelay the renponse of limits it.

Your very neat but for me vert email writine is another preblom. L have the „eyes of a 6.3-eear old, which am,when those eyes required spectacles when I was 3.

I-Ail had ro uee the magnifying glass to read your address. believe you ear teleiag about a paper that has been floatine around for come

thee, an alleged FLI report on Jack Rubensetin bailee an informer for Congresoman Nixon. I've paid no attention to it because it is ileogecal. Others say they have learned the nil form on w ich it is typed had not yet been created by that date.

The lawyer's nemc is John Abe. L 1ou-w him, or did 40 years ago. There is no

e-e\tiossibility that he was part of any plot. This is irrational, utteely irrational. The same i true of seythia and everytAaa alleged to the tramp pictures, of those not tramps and about which nothing truthful is alleged by all those nuts. They might 'as well be specks. They serve them. I aieply cannot take tine for this kinl of 25ttxx sillinees. I've done much work on these things and am certain. The ripoffs and ime

e_e providations inSkeptio have the same result, regardleme of sponsorship. And of the sickeen-the bead Jeesten. The picture I sued in We II is the complete Alegens.

7e)I've heard of no others that ere clear. Dilhard did not reeeend when I wrote him.

earchetti never Mentionee Gardeuplot when we mot some lem ye= ago. There is __) no reason I know of not to believe *what he says and there was, for years, a law that

mould have enabled it.

If you can get a dub of the fake in broaecast I might be able to de cone thing with it. I'm still on that ease and have a suit in court on it.

\\/7 ntherwi Clippings can always be very helpful, especially from papers I can't see / se. :Jith the limitations imposed on me now I save them for when I have to rest / or when I travel. 1 have to keep my legs horizoital when I type and can t sit for more

than 30 minutes at a time.

There is nothing personal in my being upset. I'm diazayed that so many concerned

people are diverted into useless paths and that it take a so much time for no to try and explain that these are unrealities and irrelevancies. I get mazy letters. If I taeo tae for detailed answers I'd do nothing else. If I don't I'm some kind of bum. Basically most of these things nre crazy. They have the end result also of destroying everyone's credibility.

I doe't throw clipeleae away. I file them after I read them ad as you should have noticed, sometimes use them extensively. In the end my extensive files will be an archive at some college, available to all in the future. Seven nut stuff can have future value and I don't throw it away.

I do hope you can understand that I really can't justify taking time to respond to every rumor that is attractive to someone whose knowledge is inadequate. end I encoorage you to suspect those who start these things. Whether they are sane or not they serve the interests of those who are responsible for these tragedies. I will not help them out. Again thanks,

Sincerely
