1. As you have been previously informed we have been negotiating with [REDACTED] of Kirkland, Washington [REDACTED] on Lake Merwin, State of Washington. - We are preparing a contract with this independent entrepreneur. We will advise you when [REDACTED] will be ready to start and keep you posted on the developments.

2. We called attorney [REDACTED] of Naples, Florida on 8/23/76 in connection with his letter of 8/7/[illegible]/76 addressed to [REDACTED] of the Northwest Orient Airlines, copy attached. This is what attorney [REDACTED] told me: He knows a waitress, presently employed in Naples, formerly living in Miami, Florida. The woman alleges that she knew Cooper under his real name, not disclosed during our telephone conversation with attorney [REDACTED]. Cooper had a detective agency in Miami and was using an alias Cooper on occasion. He was a paratrooper(?) and bragged that he would undertake some sort of a stunt or hijacking to get hold of [guess: LE]
