Dear Sir:
It is the recent slaying of Agent Reymond J Caffery
that has prompted me to write this letter.
Agent Caffery was well know and held in high esteme by
peace officers in this part of the country. The slaying
of this kind and the slaying of one of the best agents
that ever rorked out of your office is a crime that mest
not go on unpunished.
It is with this point in view that I will place any officer
or officers of this department at your disposal at any time -
that you see fit. If I do say it myself, we are well equipt
in man power, men who are of high caliber and understand the
investigating end of police work. We have the equiptment,
4neluding machine guns and long range gas guns. We also
have at our disposal two Lewis .30 machine guns. We have
alvsys been at your service and cooperated with the agents a ee
and we want you to know that our officers will go right down a
the line for your department. ae Sn
If there is anything possible that we can do in the appre-
- hension of the slayers of Caffery we WANT you to call on us.
‘This entire depertment feels that some time in the future
that they can be of some valuable service to your office
"drop of the hat".

‘Thenking you in advance for eny consideretions in the future, . Ce
I beg*to remain, A Taw
‘Sincerely,
B. H. SALYERS /s/ 7
