Dear Sir;

In regard to the highjacking of your aircraft some years when the person jumped from the plane with the $200,000.

I have plotted upon the map of Washington State the location of the currency cache, it is contained in a wooden box holding aluminum container and sealed with paraffin.

The location of the cache is within the bounds of the TOUTLE 15 minute series quadrangle.

To obtain better visual perception of the terrain, I suggest your Company apply for aerial photo enlargement to - Aerial Photography Field Office, ASCS-USDA, 2222 West 2300 South, P.O. Box 30010, Salt Lake City Utah 84125, specify STATE of WASHINGTON, COWLITZ COUNTY, TOUTLE quadrangle, 15 minute series (topographic), Range 1 E, Town- ship 9 N, Section 15, request 24"x24" photo enlargement at scale of 660'-1" - their price is $7.00.

Forward the aerial photo enlargement and I shal designate thereon the location of the currency cache.

Sincerely yours

[REDACTED]
