Cooper received by The Oregonian Id: Cooper-Part-101:231-231 Page: https://cooper.theunsolved.net/documents/Cooper-Part-101%3A231-231 What is wrong (title, date, type, which pages belong together, copies)? What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

Dear [illegible]...

To the Public:
I must ask you, who in the hell do some of you people think you are, and what in the hell do you think you're doing.
I have suceeded in pulling off one of the most successful, talked about crimes of today. Then some guy credits himself with the masterpiece and thanks everbody, for their cooperation an hospitality...Well Damn it, this is making me look very stupid. These prank letters must stop...
No one was indangered, the caper was only committed to show the unbelieving world that a PERFECT crime was possible.
I have notified the F.B.I. asking that they grant me Amnesty. The money will be returned.
NO . HARM DONE.
