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.

Sirs,
I knew from ;the start that I wouldn,t be caught.
I didn't rob ;Northwest lOrient because I thought it would be ;romantic, heoric ;or any of the other euphemisms that seem to asttach themselves to situatikns of high risk. I''m no modern Robin Hood, Unfortunately do have only 14 months to live.
My life ;has been one of hate, turmoil, hunger amd more hATE, THIS SEEMDE TO BE :THE FASTEST AND MOST PROFITABLE way to lgain a few fast grains of peace of mind.
I don't blame people for hating ;me for what Ive done nor do I ;blame anybody for wanting me to be causght and punished, though this can never happen.
.Here are some (not all) of the things ;working aagainst the authorities: I'm not a boasting man I left no fingerprints I wore a toupee I wore putty make-up
They ;could add or subtract from the composite a ;hundred times and not come up with ;an accurate description; and we both know it.
I've come and gone on several airline flights already and am not holed up in some obsure backwoods ;town, Neither am I a psycho-pathic killer. As a matter of fact Ive never beven received a speeding ticket.
Thank you ;for your attention.

Sirs;
I knew ;from the start that I would'nt be caught.
I didn't rob Northwest Orient because I thought it would be romantic, heroic or any of the other euphemisms that seem to attach themselves to situations of high risk. I'm no modern Robin Hood. Unfortunately ;do have only 14 months to live.
