[REDACTED]. His voice wasn't deep but on the soft side. He could really make people like him. He spent some time in jail but I don't think he was [guess: finger] printed at any jail. Everett, County [guess: Jail] has a record on him as [REDACTED] The [guess: man] I knew also [guess: knew] the area where the Dan Cooper went down in because he was also a [REDACTED] and was in the area for [guess: his] purpose. He [guess: has] [REDACTED] in California: some where around Hayward California but he never [guess: let] me know [REDACTED] I am sorry I haven't wrote sooner. I realize he may be far away. If you need any more information and I can help you I will be glad to. Sincerely
[REDACTED - signature]
