A member of the public writes to FBI Agent Julius Mattson in Portland, OR in March 1975. The writer references a Mar 8-14 TV Guide article on aircraft hijacking that described Cooper as a 'young man,' contrasting this with The Oregonian's coverage which showed an artistic conception of Cooper with and without dark glasses and described him as 'middle-aged.' The Oregonian story was by Leverett Richards. The writer mentions having saved the clipping in a scrapbook and was reviewing other scrapbooks. The letter appears to continue beyond this page. A separate portion of the letter (likely a continuation or second page scanned alongside the first) in which the writer offers to be contacted via a personal column listing in the Oregonian, after which they will call. Personal identifying details (name, address, phone) have been redacted under FOIA exemptions b6, b7C, and b7D. The bottom section is heavily degraded and largely illegible. Document control stamp or identifier assigned to this page in the DB Cooper FBI file.

Handwritten cursive throughout; moderately legible
Left portion has significant scan noise and degradation making some text difficult to read
Multiple redaction boxes (b6/b7C/b7D FOIA exemptions) obscure personal identifying information
Black dot redaction partially obscures day numeral in date at top right
Bottom-left section heavily degraded with poor contrast
