This letter will confirm in writing a telephone conversation between you and Special Agent on August 6, 1980.

On July 29, 1980, the Seattle FBI Office received from you a set of inked fingerprints (right and left thumb) of one Jack Scott Farmer, Date of Birth May 22, 1944. These fingerprints were forwarded to the Identification Division of the FBI at Washington, D. C., and were compared with the latent fingerprints located on the skyjacked aircraft. On August 6, 1980, the Identification Division telephonically contacted the Seattle Division to advise that the comparison had been completed and that the prints of Farmer do not match the latent fingerprints from the aircraft.
E
The original fingerprints which you provided the FBI will be returned to you by separate communication. Your assistance in this investigation is greatly appreciated.
