Re Milwaukee airtel to Director, dated 7/22/88.
Enclosed for the Bureau is a letter written by MERLIN COOPER while he served time at the Oregon State Penitentiary. The letter is addressed to ORPHA COOPER and is post marked 9/25/67. Also enclosed for the Bureau are two copies of the FD-302 regarding the interview of ORPHA COOPER.
Enclosed for Portland is one copy of the FD-302 of ORPHA COOPER.
Enclosed for Seattle is one original and one copy of the ORPHA COOPER interview.
Enclosed for Chicago are copies of Milwaukee airtels to the Director, dated 6/9/88, 7/22/88, and Milwaukee memo of 6/27/88.
On 8/2/88, ORPHA COOPER was interviewed concerning her son, MERLIN COOPER. Contrary to other reports, Mrs. COOPER denied that she was close to her son. However, this denial seems to contradict MERLIN's statements made in the enclosed letter. MERLIN also mentioned in the letter that he was expecting a large sum of money and was going bald. (ORPHA COOPER stated that at the time of his death in 1974, MERLIN was almost completely bald. In high school graduation pictures MERLIN had a full head of hair).
