Hi James:
Below is the answer to your questions and a letter from Bloomfield to Edmond de Rothschild and a letter to Nagy.
1. You state that Bloomfield knew the Rothschilds. How did he happen to know them and was there any correspondence with them? And there presumably was, so what was it about?
He met them through a man named Priester, who Bloomfield brought to Canada in 1940. Bloomfield states that he is friends with some of the Rothschilds and had acted for them. By acting, I am assuming that he did legal work for them. Attached is a letter to the Rothschilds concerning a company called Promotex.
2. You state that Bloomfield knew Prince Bernard of the Netherlands. Same questions in re Prince Bernard.
Do not know how they met and do not have any of their letters but Prince Bernhard was connected to the World Wildlife Fund and Bloomfield was also donated papers about the WWF.
3. Bloomfield was a member of the Sonneborn group. This group arranged for Israel to get the atomic bomb. Was there any correspondence with this group or any of its members such as General Julius Klein?
Do not have anything for Klein or Sonneborn group.
4. Was there any correspondence with General Julius Klein, the Jewish War Veterans, General John B. Medaris or any others in that group?
No.
5. Was there any corresondence with Roy Cohn? How about with any German expatriates like Wernher von Braun? I would almost bet five bucks that Bloomfield and Cohn were associates or at least close acquaintances.
No.
6. You casually mentioned that Bloomfield corresponded with George H W Bush. Why was he doing that? What did he write about?
Appendix 9 of my book review on Knnedys and King has all of his letters to Bush.

7. I agree with you that Ferenc Nagy was not a fascist or necessarily a spy for the CIA or anyone, but he was very, very likely involved in fomenting the Hungarian Uprising in 1956.
That was claimed by the Soviet press at the time and is almost a slam dunk as being the truth. Were there any direct letters between Ferenc Nagy and Bloomfield and if so, of what nature?
Ferenc Nagy was a CIA asset and offered Permindex as a front company for the CIA. Attached is a letter from Bloomfield to Nagy.
8. Jim Garrison did not mention Permindex in his first book "Heritage of Stone" in 1969 but he did mention Permindex in "On The Trail of the Assassins" written in 1988. Was there any mention of Permindex in the 1967-1969 Clay Shaw investigation and trial that you know of? You talked a lot about that in the interview, ie. Garrison's beliefs about Permindex.
"On the Trail of the Assassins" does not devote much space to Bloomfield which suggests that Garrison may not have been too interested in him. Much has been written about Garrison's attempt to subpoena people to testify at trial but I have not seen any evidence that he tried to question Bloomfield.
9. If someone is personally acquainted with Prince Bernard and the Rothschild's, and he is one of 20 members of the Sonneborn group and he is heavily involved with the Permindex company, and his files are locked up for fifty years, then where there's smoke, there's fire. A person would probably conclude that Bloomfield was so well connected, that he probably gave orders to the CIA rather than taking orders from them. That's not being a CIA asset, but what's the difference?
Bloomfield did not give orders to anyone in the CIA. He is well connected and knows many wealthy people but this does not mean that he is involved in intelligence operations.
10. Is there any information about Bloomfield and the FBI internal security function? Specifically, the DISC (domestic internal security command)?
No.
11. Did Bloomfield correspond with J Edgar Hoover? Was there any truth to the allegations that he and Hoover were closely associated due to their mutual gay lifestyles?
No.
12. Was there any correspondence with any people like Clay Shaw who, (like Hoover and Shaw), seemingly capitalized on their gay connections as it fit together with intelligence work?
No.
13. Since you mentioned letters to George H W Bush, which other famous people did Bloomfield correspond with?
Canadian political figures such as John Diefenbaker.
14. Since Bloomfield's widow is still living, do you have to tread on thin ice regarding her cooperation with your work (or non-cooperation)?
Have not been able to confirm if she is still alive but if she is I am not concerned.
15. Permindex was allegedly kicked out of Italy for trying to reinstate the Monarchy there. Was Bloomfield involved with Prince Bernard and UK intelligence due to any monarchist leanings or special monarchist skills and talents? (I am in the middle of watching "The Crown" on Netflix (?) and I could easily see Bloomfield fitting into that scene).
Have no evidence that he was involved with UK intelligence but Bloomfield was a conservative so he may have supported a constitutional monarchy.
16. Is there anything else you thought of after the interview that you wished you could have been asked about or forgot to mention?
No.
