One unsigned note sent to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated circa 1973. The note reads "Hope you have better luck deciphering this than we did - got no answer from the phone number we could read - so good luck, folks!! dk. no address and last name undecipherable." Sent by Stankus at an earlier date but the name was illegible. Once a second set of documents (GLC09613.02.3753.01-.03) arrived the staff was able to determine the sender of this set of documents. (GLC09613.02.3754.01-.05)
