LOA-I
Referenoe your telegram No. 2062[a].
FIST [Kula() [ ] stated the following to GIVINDPAPA[DEDUShn][ii]:
Anoording to his data, the FELLOWCOUNTRYMENIs[Plalen][iii] international
organisation has been formally dissolved. Actually the local FELLOWCOUREWYMEN
are continuing to work
[4.6 groups unrecoverable]
SMYRNA[SMIRNA][iv] took this into consideration and began to support him in
good time? Judging from GRANDPAPA's story FIST spoke partly in broad hints,
partly with cynical frankness. C. [D. and I consider that FIST'S desire
to meet the head of the TRUST[TREST][vi] (henceforth "STEPFATHER[OTChIe[vii])
means that he is striving to obtain an answer to the second point.
