Please remove the section beginning "The following letter, written by L. Ron Hubbard". There is no source cited for the claim that the letter was seized in an FBI raid, and I'm sure that's incorrect anyway. The first public appearance of this letter was in an affidavit filed by Gerry Armstrong (activist) in 1982 as one of many supporting documents he said he removed from Scientology offices while working there, but the only sources I can find for that explanation are not what we would call reliable.

Unfortunately, I don't think there can be any reliable source to support the claim that the letter was actually written by Hubbard. I'm sure Armstrong is telling the truth, but that means nothing here.

In theory we could say "the following letter was allegedly written by Hubbard," but that's weak sauce and not, in my opinion, up to Misplaced Pages standards. 67.188.1.213 (talk) 08:55, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
