Federal Bureau of Investigation C/o Federal Court Bldg. Portland, Ore.

Gentlemen; As I have already stated the "D.B. Cooper" "escapade" was done for a "diversionary tactic" and the only way you'll ever find "D.B. Cooper" is by doing the proper spadework. If you'll send an agent to Fort [guess: Townsend] Wash., he should go to the [guess: Court] [REDACTED] and look up the probate of [REDACTED]

And in these probates he will find the names of at least 5 different lawyers. He will note also that

[REDACTED]

And some of these people have been represented by the above-mentioned lawyers. But always remember that the [illegible] [guess: key] names will be [REDACTED] If you'll trace out all the above [guess: named] people you'll find [guess: Cooper]
