Dear Mr. Milnes, I am wondering if you'd be interested in some clues in regard to the Cooper search, [REDACTED b6/b7C] [REDACTED b6/b7C] of the activities when the extensive search was in progress. He says the man is hanging upside down in a tree over there alright, but you weren't looking in the right area. Furthermore, nothing is visible from the air, so under the best conditions you're still looking for a needle in a haystack. [REDACTED b6/b7C] the reasoning of the man, where he planned to leave the plane, what he used for his beacon, and how he was not prepared for such strong wind currents. You can contact us if you care to follow this up, but we do not want any publicity on our part. Very truly, [REDACTED b6/b7C]
