Gentlemen;
Last fall while hunting in the
Sierra Mountains, I found a piece of
parachute hidden under a log. I
thought the chute may have been
Coopers, so I gave it to the F.B.I.
and they brought it back to me
this spring, and said that it could
be his chute, they couldn't tell. Since
then, my wife and I have made several
trips back up there, but it wasn't
untill [guess: fully] July, that conditions were right
that we could track him. We followed
his trail for 2½ miles and found
enough evidence to prove to us that
it was Cooper, that he was badly
injured and that he could not possibly
have made it out to the nearest [guess: habitation]
but I had to come home to work so
