Our researcher who helps us with early Scientology history really hit on a gem for us this time.
It’s a letter that L. Ron Hubbard sent 75 years ago this week, and it contains some of the most frank talk we’ve seen from Hubbard about how he planned to make millions from Dianetics, which a year later he would reorganize as Scientology.
With the help of our researcher we’ve been tracing the crazy year of 1951 when Hubbard’s early success with Dianetics started to go south. Convinced that his second wife, Sara Northrup, was going to have him committed, Hubbard hatched a plan to hide their infant from her, kidnap Sara with the help of a goon named Frank Dessler, and try to get Sara declared insane.
[Frank Dessler]
That plot fell apart when they got to Yuma, Arizona, and Hubbard released Sara to go back to Los Angeles. Hubbard and his assistant, Richard deMille, then went on to Elizabeth, New Jersey, where the original Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation was located. Hubbard had the baby, Alexis, brought to him from Los Angeles with the help of another couple.
Hubbard and deMille then absconded to Havana with the baby. But before he left, we saw last time that he tried to turn in Sara and her boyfriend, Miles Hollister, to the FBI, claiming they were Communists.
That didn’t go anywhere, but on March 27, 1951, Hubbard wrote a letter to Dessler from Cuba with more instructions about what to do in Los Angeles while Hubbard and deMille were away.
