Commentary by the AI model that transcribed this page. It may bring in context the page itself does not state. The scan is the source; the transcript is machine-generated from it.

Fragment of a handwritten statement or letter. The writer discusses having lived in an area for several years where drugs were plentiful, that the people trusted them, and references knowing a large number of people with top credentials. A rectangular redaction box obscures part of the text on the last line. Appears to be a continuation from a previous page. FBI FOIA exemption codes b6 (personal privacy) and b7C (law enforcement - personal privacy), indicating redactions were made under these exemptions. Bates stamp or document tracking number from the FBI's D.B. Cooper file.
