On December 2, 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.

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 pray cut game. Am leaving Vancouver. Thanks for your hospitality. Signed, D.B. COOPER."
