Re Los Angeles airtel to Bureau dated 1/24/77.

WFO 1G4-1C9
of ROBERT LINCOLN TODD BECKWITH, a wealthy elderly man from WDC, the last direct descendant of ABRAHAM LINCOLN who freely gave COFFELT large sums of money. During an interview of COFFELT, he denied impersonating a Justice Department employee. He said TAVE COFFELT was actually TAVE THOMPSON, who, according to COFFELT, was never employed by the FBI. At the time of the interview, THOMPSON resided somewhere in New Jersey. The file further reflects that COFFELT was described as a white, male, DOB 2/20/16 at Carthage, Missouri, FBI Number 590 8CC. WFO files reflect no additional information re COFFELT.
