"Dear [REDACTED]

After reading about your wanting to catch D. B. COOPER, I tried some fancy footwork of locating your man. You can take it for what it is worth, but this is what I found out.

He has grown a moustache as I have put on the newspaper picture, wears a great deal of gray, coat, hat black, suit gray, brown or tan shoes, drives a 1963 car, black Ford. Someone obtained his license for him. Lives on one flight of stairs up at [REDACTED] [REDACTED] San Francisco, eats at Puerto Rican restaurant on east side of town, at Pop Top's or down street at a cabaret.

I admire your not giving up your man. If this information will lead you to your man, I have helped. I expect nothing in return.
