The attached PDF consists of documents regarding John Birch Society history.  

The subjects include:

*how the FBI learned of the existence of Robert Welch’s so-called “private letter” (The Politician) which was from a contact by G-2 Army Intelligence 

*documents that reflect how the “private letter” was used as a recruitment tool for new JBS members, 

*Minutes of JBS National Council meetings which show membership numbers and financial information during early years of the Society, 

*a resignation letter by Bryton Barron (a former State Dept historian) who became a JBS Coordinator in Virginia.  

*a letter by Robert Welch to David Roemer which discusses in detail Welch's religious beliefs.

These documents originated in FBI files as well as in personal papers of several JBS National Council members which are archived in several universities. Most have never been publicly available except in some of my online Reports about the JBS.
