Dear [REDACTED]:

---

Please accept my sincere thanks for your cooperation in bringing to the attention of this office your sighting of a piece of white cloth hanging from a tree near Lake Merwin, Washington, and for accompanying personnel of this office to the location to point it out to them.

It would not be possible to conduct successful criminal investigative operations without the civic responsibility of citizens such as you displayed in this instance, and I wanted you to know of my deep appreciation.

Very truly yours,

[signature]

ARTHUR G. BARGER Special Agent in Charge
