In response to referenced request, ap original typewritten letter and enveloye addressed to the American Eubessy, Stockhola, were examined in order to determine the origin of the letter and the nationality of the writer. 2. The following ccnclusions were drawn concerning the letter and envelopes : a. The typewriter {on question ie equipped with an obsolete 1 style of German-made type which, according to our references, was fitted on a number of typewritere made in Germany during the 1920s a and early 19%s. The possible mexes would be Stoewer, Toryedo, ; : Mercedes, Rheinmstall, Urania, Orga, Fortuna, Continental, Kappel, : Grose; Trbemh, Merz and possibly same others.- Of these~-makes, - the Torpedo, Mercedes, Rheinmetell and Triumph were probatly the most widely distributed. i b. The machine in question is equipped with a black and red ritton. The keyboard is very probably Swedish, as shown by two estrike-overe; waleaut-u for hyphen and "2" for “a”. These charecters are adjacent on the standard Swedish keyboard, but not ; on the German. The umlaut-a was not used in the street address, fo bos . "Strandvagen” (where the dots should have been placed over the second "a"). This might be either a simple oversight or an attempt to conceal the writer's familiarity with the correct spelling. ce The paper of the letter is of the international standard (DIN) size "AL" which is almost universally used in Sweden. ‘he : : iinen-textured stationery seems to be rather common in Sweden. ' i . The two smaller pieces of blank peper match the letter paper with : respect to width, thickness, color, texture and look-through, and , ‘were probably cut from another sheet of the same type. ‘The envelope " Matches specimens of Swedish envelopes taken fron a UB/,~Postal.

‘DB Memo #6585 - Page 2 a. The letter. wos.posted fraa the. Stockhols Ean poat office,... which ig located in the centrel railway termainal is Stockhols. All mail deposited in etreet mail toxes in this ares or in the post ', office would be processed tarough thie station. e. The cancellation cachet on tne envelo;e is identical in all respecte (format, postmark, number style and length of killer bars} to exemplars available in our office. f&. The postage is correct for Swedish internal mail and the postage stamp is of current issue. @ A pessible irregulerity is the time lag tetween the internal date of the letter, the date of the postmark and the date of receipt in the American éabagsy. The total time from the internal date of the letter to the tine of receipt ia eight days, the time between the date of posting and the date of receiyt is more than three days. This transit time of more then three days for intra-city mail appears irregular when compared with the average trensit time of only two-. three daya for arrival between Stockhols end the United Btates. 3. The text of the letter warrants some comments because a mesber of peculiarities were noted - aside from jaire spelling or typing errors « which seem to indicate a Swedish writer. The following words represent ‘either Swedien spelling or modification: "reserv”, “etabiiened”, “nurded", - “Krustjev". Other examples of Swedish grammar and cyntax would be: “mst” (as past tense), “in Sowlet” (Svedish form but not spelling), “ne was spy” (without indefinite article), "FBI, UGA" (vithout definite articla), “should” (rather than “would"), “outaonggled” (Svedish past participle form); and-"whole the world" -(pure Swedish fsra}. 4. Another significant detail is the name given, “Ryo Liang Yuan". "Ryo" is not a standard spelling in any known Romanization system used for Chinese. “R" ia seen in the new Chinese Communist rational system, but never in combination with “yo". “Ryo” 1s ea Japanese spelling. In the name given it la not known whether the Chinese or Western presen- tation is used, im other words, whether “Ryo” or “Yuan” is meant to be the surname. Among Chinese syliables which could be rezresented by the Japanese "Ryo" are Liao, Liang and lung. Of these Lung (1C:7893) and. Iisng (TC:2733) are used as surnames. In either case, “Ryo” ig hardly & name by which a real Chinese would identify himself. 5. In guemery, end based on the above information, it is concluded thet the letter vas tranamitted via normal Svedieh postal channele. ‘The letter is probably a “crank letter", most likely writtea by a Swede, using e Owedish-keyboard typewriter and Swedish stationery.
