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.

Gentlemen;
Last fall while hunting in the Sierra Mountains, I found a piece of parachute hidden under a log. I thought the chute may have been Coopers, so I gave it to the F.B.I. and they brought it back to me this spring, and said that it could be [guess: his] chute, they couldn't tell. Since then, my wife and I have made [guess: several] trips back up there, but it wasn't untill [sic] July, that conditions were right that we could track him. We followed his trail for 2½ miles and found enough evidence to prove to us that it was Cooper, that he was badly injured and that he could not possibly have made it out to the nearest [guess: habitation] but I had to come home to work so
