Dear Mr. Milnes,
Although it looks as though everybody else [guess: except] you is catching hijackers, you shouldn't [guess: worry] about it, for I also think that D. B. Cooper" is hanging around Seattle. And even though it seems futile, I'm still [guess: checking] all of my [guess: 200 to] [guess: for] you.
[guess: You may] wonder why [guess: some] of these newspaper articles are on books and the new [guess: york] Police Department. The books about [guess: Washington], D.C. might be both interesting and use[ful]

you to read especially since someday you may be transferred there. However, there is no need for you to spend money for the books should be free at your library.
The article about the New York Police Department is so that you may see how bad they are and how lucky you are not to have to live there. In spite of this, though, Mr. Malone and the New York [guess: F.B.I.] do a magnificent and [guess: superlative] job back there and certainly no man is better qualified to be [guess: A.] F.B.I. director than John J. Malone.
Also notice the picture of the fat-faced and sleepy-looking disgrace to womanhood to whom Mr. [guess: Gray] has entrusted the care and feeding

of the D.B.D. [guess: I'd] [guess: also] hope that her emotional problems (evidenced by her inability to stop [guess: stuffing] her mouth full of food) are not carried over into her work and that her arrogant [guess: hostility] toward the D.B.D. (If you read the articles carefully, [guess: it is] there) will not cause any malfunctioning among the usually good-natured D.B.D.
It is also tragic that colored shirts and [guess: fancy] hair-dos are [guess: now] to be allowed. If men could only see [guess: how] cheap and trashy they look in such things, colors and long hair would be left to the women.

After having watched Mr. Gray and [guess: television], I offer this [guess: unbiased] opinion: he is a [guess: righteous] [guess: law-abiding] [guess: to] fame and glory solely because of another's misfortune, and realizing that he is both a [guess: liar] and a [guess: bore], [guess: knows] that he could [guess: never] i- [guess: ten] [guess: lifetimes] have [guess: made it] on his own. Knowing this about himself probably gives Mr. Gray not only great feelings of insecurity but also all sorts of personality [guess: aberrations] which are manifested by some of his foolish remarks. Not only does Mr. Gray not [guess: wish] to share the spotlight with anybody but he also [guess: seems] to not want to be reminded of Mr. [guess: Mooser]. I can only [guess: suggest] that
