FBI Section 130 • EE-2 • Letters to Jim Jones

The 484 pages of this section — designated as EE-2 in the Guyana Index – consist mostly of letters written by Jonestown residents. The complete PDF for this section as released by the FBI is here.

The FBI divided the letters of this section into 14 subsections, but their alphabetization appears to be random. Because of that, the individual letters have been parceled out to their respective alphabetical counterparts in the four sections of EE-1. These sections may be found at

EE-1 • Letters to Dad (A-F)
EE-1 • Letters to Dad (G-J)
EE-1 • Letters to Dad (K-M)
EE-1 • Letters to Dad (N-Z)

Most of the letters in these sections were written in the summer of 1978, although many carry no dates at all. Others include date and month – eg. 6/5/78 – and while most Jonestown residents retained the American notation of dating (meaning this date would be June 5, 1978), others adopted the British/Guyanese notation (meaning this date would be May 6, 1978). In order to make the transcriptions as accurate as possible, those notations have been left as is.

The listing below is of the 27 pages within this pdf comprising several documents which are not letters.

The citation for these documents should open with the FBI’s official designation of these records, which is “RYMUR 89-4286.” Each individual page in these records has a unique number. Page 442 of this document, for example, is marked “EE-2-S-13A”. The complete citation for that page, then, would be “RYMUR 89-4286-EE-2-S-13A”.
