I would say when you find this man you will find at least one hundred eighty thousand dollars. I will tell you how to locate him within twenty four hours. I've known this man nearly twenty years. He has no criminal history. I'm sixty two years old and doing twenty five years for 211 3A [guess: in] [guess: 1961] I have served over fourty years behind bars since my father was killed in 1922. I do not want any visible credit for this. I'm not positive this letter goes out unopened or I'd have gave more details. Sam Howard J. Hubbell #84333-132 Leavenworth, Kan.
