Dear Mr. Stephens:
Thank you for the opportunity to talk to you about the autopsies. We appreciate your help throughout this difficult and painful process.
I gave some material which I had written to the local FBI agents. The enclosed material will help you understand something of how I see and feel about the tragedy.
With good wishes.
Cordially yours,
/s/ John
John V Moore
