Result of examination:

It was not determined whether the questioned writing on Q49 through Q51 was prepared by any of the persons involved in the preparation of the questioned material previously received in this matter. A conclusion could not be reached in this regard because of a lack of comparable writing and distortion in portions of the questioned material previously received; however, nothing of particular significance was noted in the limited comparison which could be conducted.

Q49 through Q51 were not identified in the Anonymous Letter File. Copies of these specimens have been added to this file for future reference.

No watermarks, indented writing, or other features were found on Q49 through Q51 which would be of value in determining the source of these specimens.

The submitted evidence was photographed and will be returned separately.
