Date of the letter. A citizen tip letter addressed to Mr. Ullman requesting that J. Edgar Hoover investigate an unnamed individual. The writer mentions the subject had a home in a redacted location, references Thanksgiving, mentions the subject is going into some kind of business, and requests anonymity. The writer also expresses that someone (female, 'she') does not know the truth. The word 'Buissness' is a misspelling of 'Business'. Heavy redactions obscure most identifying details. FBI processing stamp with case file number, search/index/serialization/filing indicators, and date stamp of May 15, 1972. DB Cooper case reference number at the bottom of the page. FOIA exemption codes marked in the right margin indicating redactions were made under Privacy Act exemptions b6 (personal privacy), b7C (law enforcement - personal privacy), and b7D (law enforcement - confidential source).
