Most of the record is letters that read "can i have access to Teslas stuff please" and the FBIs answer "we are not responsible, contact the Office of Alien Property". The FBI of course knew where Teslas stuff was: It was stored in rooms 5J and 5L in the Manhatten Storage Warehouse on 52nd street & 7th avenue in New York. In the first 10 years only once were people allowed to examine it. Their report is in (PDF 1 page 178ff) with a second copy in (PDF 3 page 40ff). It is by far the most interesting piece of information in the whole record. Sadly it basically says: Tesla was a genius but in his later years he didn't make any new breakthroughs at all. Even sadder: Tesla didn't seem to understand nuclear energy. Keeping that knowledge about the late Dr. Tesla under seal for 50 years may have helped the "mysterium Tesla" far more than any actual invention he could have possibly made at the time. If you ever visit Belgrad everything interesting from that warehouse has by now been moved there and is on display in the Tesla Museum. With the exception of some "original manuscripts" which Tesla gave away to good friends, like for example the great publisher Hugo Gernsback. The list of "people close to Tesla" (PDF 1 Page 186ff) is a bit creepy, yet that is actually what i would expect to find in an FBI record. ---- On a side note the FBI seems to have an unhealthy habit of filing anything you sent them under the topic you ask for, even if you mail them crap: There is a story about UFO conspiracy theorists "Mr. and Mrs. Storm" (pdf 1, page 55) and what does the FBI do? They file the "Interplanetary Newsletter" (pdf 3, page 1ff) and later release it under the freedom of information act. Now other nutjobs can claim "the FBI disclosed documents that say Tesla invented machines that allowed the USA to contact space people in the 50ths" ... runs a short google query ... yep that is happening.
