I am appealing the response to this request. The search should be expanded to include the reference files. Also, the books "Modernism on File" by C. Culleton and "The FBI Encyclopedia" by M. Newton both claim to have reviewed FBI files pertaining to Cummings. Links to those references can be found below.
