Frank Burke, Chief*, Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, Washington, DC, to McLaughlin, St. Louis, MO, Jan. 8, 1920.

Text: "Sunned [sic -- since?] January eighth re EVA ZLOTCHEVER alias EVA ADAMS. Information files this office show that subject is apparently a Russian Jewess and a propaganda agent for radical magazines. It is no doubt that she is very close to anarchist circles, but no definite evidence has been obtained about this subject. Suggest this subject is thoroughly questioned as to whether or not she is member of COMMUNIST PARTY. COMMUNIST LABOR PARTY or UNION RUSSIAN WORKERS. If admission could be obtained from her, examination should also be made to ascertain what radical literature she has distributed during period she has been distributing political papers. Reference here made to confidential letter instruction August twelfth, nineteen nineteen, containing list of radical publications falling under deportation law."

Topic for discussion: "Suggest this subject is thoroughly questioned . . . ." 

Research: "confidential . . . list of radical publications"
"Reference here made to confidential letter instruction August twelfth, nineteen nineteen, containing list of radical publications falling under deportation law." Find a copy of this confidential letter.

Research: Rosa Strunsky
A second copy of this same document in the Bureau of Investigation file has the words "Rose Strunsky" handwritten on the title of the document, pointing to "EVA ZLOTCHEVER alias EVA ADAMS." BOI agents apparently mistakenly thought that "Rose Strunsky" was another alias used by Eve.
