Your suffering has hardly begun. Teddy

won't rest til he gets his.
"We are sick of the Kennedy's and all the
dam Kennedy crap.
"You stole from the church when you managed
its affairs then you bought the church in the
person of Richard Cardinal Hypocrite.
"You were an uethical business robber and
crook. You had a movie actress mistress. Your
'devoted' wife stayed home only long enough: to
get pregnant. with your stolen money she tried
to buy respectability but she is still shanty' dirty Irish.
IIYou thought you could buy the presidency -
and did once. America doesn't like or want
dynasties. Jack had to die. Bobby had to die.
Teddy has to die.

destruction of the Kennedy's and to suffer again
and again before you die and go to Hell for all
eternity.

The pay-off in this case was scheduled for June 20,
1968, however, this letter was received by tho'Ibnnedy family
during the period immediately following the murder of Robert
F. Kennedy. It has been observed in other cases that a huge
volume oi nail was received by the Kennedy's at that time andtlbecame back logged. Secret Service also points out this

Joseph P. Kennedy
Hyannis Port, iassachusettes
Kennedy Compound!
Mr. Kennedy:
I'm most certain of your nnowledge of the anti-
Kennedy spree swelling the nation, to which my infor-
mation will prove interesting indeed.
I represent a left-wing orgainization whichT@-
ceives bids from Gosa Nostra, Longshoremen's and Team-
sters unions respectively to eliminate those detrie
mental political figureheads. Teamsters president
Jimmy Hoffa and Franx Bitzsimmons were unpleasently
disclosed before the Senate Labor Rackets Conmitee
by the counsel directed by Robert Kennedy. A bid
authorized by union directors of Council 12 B.S.E.I.U.
OF Greater New York and Teamster union officials was
brought before our New York Delegatoin to discontinue
his political progress. If the senator had lost the
race in California, his elimination from the contine
gency would have been certain. However, he won and
had to be stopped.
Presently, a Bostonian financing corporation
wishes to eliminate Sen. Edward M. Kennedy from active
contingency so that they may post a prospective cand-
idate. A bid has been received for five hundred thou-
sand dollars which is now under deep consideration by
our syndicate. The only method of saving your son is
by outbidding the proposed deal. We would line one
million dollars which will serve as retroactive cash
and will outbidthe previous attempt. The money should
be placed in a modern breifoase and placed behind e
telephone pole accross the road from the newlybuilt

Result of examination:
The typewriting on Q2 measures 25% millimeters per
. 100 letters. This typewriting most closely resembles the
standard for Halda/Facit and Antares styles of type. Typewriters
using Halda/Facit style of type are manufactured in Sweden and
typewriters using Antares style of type are manufactured in Italy
The typewriting on Q2 and the writing on Q1 were
. compared with the appropriate sections of the Anonymous Letter
File without effecting an identification. Copies are being added
thereto.
The postmark on envelope Q1 is partially obliterated.
This postmark appears to be "ORANGE, CT.; JUN 1B EM; 1968;

Hyannie Port. lassaohusettea
Kennedy Compound!
Ir. Kennedy:
nest eertein of your knowledge or the anti-
Kbnnedy spree swelling the nation, to which my inter-
lation will prove interesting indeed.I represent a lett-wing orgainization which?!"ceivee bi s from Goes Hostra. Longshoremen's and team-
etere unions respectively to eliminate those detri-
mental political figureheads. Teanster'e presidentJimmy Sorta and Irank Fitasimmons were unpleasently
disc osed before the Senate Labor Rackets Gcnmites p
by the eeuneel directed b" Robert Kennedy. A bidtuthcrized by union directors or Council 12 B.S.E.I.U.
OF Greater Iew York and Teamster union officials was
brought before our New York Delegatoin to discontinue
his political progress. It the senator had lost the
race in Oalitcrnia, his elimination from the contin-
gency would have been certain. However, he won and
had to be stopped.
Presently, a Bostonian financing corporation
eiehee to eliminate $en. Edward H. Kennedy from activecontingency so that they lay goat a prospective cand-idate. A bid has been receive for I ve unareo thou-
sand dollars which is new under deep consideration by
our syndicate. The only method of saving your son is
by cutbidding the proposed deal. We would lire one
million dollars which will serve as retroactive cashand will outbidthe previous attempt. The money shouldbe placed in a modern breifcase and placed be ind a
telephone pole acoross the road from the newly-built
hone on Pleasant Hill Road in Orange, Connecticut.
Our corporation will expect the currency by noon of
Ihursday, June 20. A guard will be posted to assure
of no foul play. The money will most preferably oe
accepted in fifty dollar bills. Certainly a man with
one son left cannot risk or foolishly gamble his lite.

Mr. Kennedy:
I'm most certain of your Knowledge of the anti-
Kennedy spree swelling the nation, to which my infor-
mation will prove interesting indeed. '
I represent a leftwing orgainizaticn whichre
ceives bids from Cosa Nostra, Longshoremen's and Team-
sters unions respectively to eliminate those detri-
mental political figureheads. Teamsters president
Jimmy Hoffa and Frank Fitzsimmons were unpleasently
disclosed before the Senate Laoor Rackets Conmitee
by the counsel directed by Robert Kennedy. A bid_
authorized by union directors of Council l2 B.S.E.I.U.

his political progress. If the senator had lost the
_race in California, his elimination from the contin-
gency would have been certain. However, he won and
had to be stooped.
Presently, a Bostonian financing corporation
wishes to eliminate Sen. Edward E. Kennedy from activecontingency so that they may gust a prospective cand-
idate. A bid has been receive for five hundred thou-
sand dollars which is new under deep consideration by
our syndicate. The only method of saving your son is
by outbidding the proposed deal. We would line one
million dollars which will serve as retroactive cash
and will outbidthe previous attenpt. The money should
be placed in a modern breifcase and placed behind a
telephone pole accross the road from the newly-builthone on Pleasant Hill Road in Orange. Uonnecticuté
Our corporation will expect the currency by noon 0-

No watermark was found in Q1. Q2 contains the watermar}
"Hamilton Mimeo" and a triangle design. _The watermark "Hamilton

The fol ng investigation was conducted by SA Dy 1 New Haven Connecticut . - I
On November 18, 1968, the New Haven city directories
and directories of surrounding towns were reviewed with
no identifiable information located for Herilli Syndicate,
Merilli Association, F. Merilli, Labor Counsels of
America, Labor Counsel 12 or B.S.E.I.U.
On November 22, 1968, Secret Service,New Haven, advised that he r o ce ad conducted no
investigation in this matter as they were unaware of the
extortion letter. Their office had not been advised of the
threat or of the payoff that was to have taken place in
Orange, Connecticut,
On November 22, 1968, a city directory was reviewed
to determine if a Pleasant Hill Road was located in
Orange, Connecticut. The directory revealed that a
Pleasant View Road was located in Orange but no Pleasant
Hill Road. A Pleasant Hill Road was located in
Woodbridge, Connecticut which is approximately three quarters
of a mile long, and one mile from the town line of
Orange. This road was driven on November 22, 1968, and the
exact house mentioned in the extortion letter could not
be located, Although this is a new residential area,
no homes appear to be recently built. No mail boxes
on this road revealed any name resembling that of
Merilli.
On December 6, 1968, the Pleasant View Road in Orange,
Connecticut, was driven and it revealed the road sign
Pleasant Hill Road rather than Pleasant View Road. I
This road, which is approximately one mile long, is also
located in a new residential area however nohomes
appear to be recently built and exact location mentioned
in extortion liter could not be determined. No names
on mail boxes resembled the name of Merilli.
