Dear Mr. Swezey:

        With reference to your letter of June 25, 1955, our files disclose the effects of Nikola Tesla were taken into custody after his death by the Office of Alien Property and not by this Bureau.

        Since we did not participate in the handling of Mr. Tesla's effects, we are unable to supply the information you requested.

                                                                Sincerely yours,

                                                                John Edgar Hoover
                                                                     Director

NOTE:

        A cover memorandum from Belmont to Boardman was prepared by ETB:jaa on 6-29-55 in connection with this outgoing mail.

        Bufiles contain no derogatory data re correspondent; reflect only that he was close friend and admirer of Tesla.

[REDUCTED]
