On December 3, 1971, [REDACTED] advised SA [REDACTED] that he is in receipt of a letter which was sent to the Vancouver Province by an individual claiming to be D.B. COOPER. [REDACTED] stated that the envelope and letter were ordinary correspondence type paper and that the letter was addressed to the Chief Editor, The Province, 2250 Granville Street, Vancouver, 9, B.C. The letter was postmarked from Vancouver, B.C., time 2 p.m., dated November 30, 1971. The letter which was written by means of printing, reads as follows:

"Chief Editor, The Province, The composite drawing on page 3 as suspected by FBI does not represent the truth. I enjoyed the gray [guess: cup] game. Am leaving Vancouver. Thanks for your hospitality. Signed, D.B. COOPER."
