All files
61-7606 is the FBI’s old main file on the Irish Republican Army. 61 is the classification (treason / internal security in that era). 7606 is the case number. When the paper got too thick they bound it into sections. Joshua Smith’s 2015 release is seven PDFs covering sections 1–32, from 1939 into the early 1990s. A serial is one document inside a section (a letter, teletype, or clipping). The file list follows those PDFs, not the serial numbers.
The 2015 drop includes a second PDF with an embedded text layer for some parts (_text). Same pages as the scan; that copy is omitted from the file list. Word-level OCR differs and search may still hit both.

Mr. A. H. Thurston
l^nlte^. States of the Italian ship the SS Conte di SavoiaJ The issues of Tiiae
aagatine i&entioned hare been reviewed with negatiTe results, and although cer*'
tain inTestigation has been ecxidaeted in an effort to detexvine If possible
nhether Russell departed on the last trip of the SS Conte di Satoia, it has
been ioposaible to procure axscr defijoite iofomation that he did so leaTe«
Advice has been received fron the Crieinal Division of the OepartmenFl
of iustiee that the pending action to forfeit the |5tOOO«00 bond given for
/
Bussell*s release has been postponed, and that the Crixinal Division, prior
/
to taking any additional aetlpn thereon, is attempting to deteraine vrhether /
Russell actually left the United States and If so the circuMtances surrourKlTy
|^^in£jiis departure*
In view of your euggestion that every possible investigative effort
be aade to clarify Russell's BOveMnts subsequent to his release from custody
in Detroit, Michigan, in 1939, an additional investigation vrlll be conducted
in an effort to definitely establish the facts surrounding his departure from
the United States* There is a distinct possibility, however, that such in-
quiries vill fail to develop the desired Infomation. In view of Russell•s
activities It appears probable that he aade every effort to leave the United
States as surreptitiously as possible and that he a&de the details of his
departure known to as few people as possible. Ever;/ effort will be aiade, how^
ever, to definitely determine exactly when and how he departed from the United
States.
Very truly yours,
