24 de Julio 1972

Senor [redacted] [redacted] Hawthorne, California, U.S.A.

Dear [redacted]

The following information has been received from my good friend and attorney.

"You will be happy to know that I have received word that you have been disqualified by the F.B.I. as a suspect in the hijacking case. They came to the conclusion that you were too dam- ned old to jump off anything, including [guess: bridges]."

"They learned that your energy in such that the most you can do is roll over and sigh."

Thus ends my career as an airplane hijacker. So put the word out that all is O.K. I, didn't know how far those BASTARDS might go with this thing and who they might call on. Thanks to you both, have fun and be careful--------------

[redacted]

Write to [redacted] so I will know that you received this letter. Also send me your zip code number.
