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.

[REDACTED], Special Agent Federal Bureau of Investigation Portland, OR
Dear [REDACTED];
---
To briefly introduce myself, let me say that [REDACTED]. During most of that time, I served in the capacity of [REDACTED] [REDACTED]
I do not have a telephone or I would have contacted you in that manner.
I believe that I may have information which could prove useful in the investigation and search for "D. B. Cooper". I have given this matter a good deal of deliberation before making the decision to write this letter. This deliberation spanned nearly a year, and perhaps, a good deal of that time was spent in watchful waiting with the hopes that Cooper would be found or caught. There is still a good deal of anxiety on my part---if I am wrong, I sincerely hope that this will have been handled in such a way as not to have adversely effected the person that I be- lieve may be Cooper.
I would greatly prefer giving this information to you in person, or to one of the Agents there that I would remember, and I would prefer to do this in the privacy of my home. I, also, trust that you will keep this correspond- ence completely confidential within your agency.
Thanking you for your patience and cooperation, and looking forward to hearing from you, I remain---
Sincerely [REDACTED]
