Manila folder containing single item; folder marked "Official Organization, SPM 110-01." ~.25" linear. Good stuff. First item discusses animosity existing between Attorney Emilio Gonzalez and Attorney Vera Estañol, both of whom the SPM has been using, and which they think is more competent (Estanol); and what to do. Most of correspondence appears to deal with Estanol, and specifically with SPM attempts to keep Estanol in their pocket by offering him a bonus (25% of the amount in question!) if he can secure the SPM a refund on their taxes paid to the government. Not a big dollar amount (about 10 grand U.S.), but possibly worthwhile info. Also includes letter (7/24/41) from Ben Dey to Estanol, scolding him for taking his own initiative in attempting to get the company a tax refund
