Mr. William Randolph Hearst, Hillsborough, California

Have written you before, but you have not even acknowledged. Am one of the world's greatest psychics...also a member of Mensa...so am qualified to give you some functional ideas that could work to bring your daughter home safely. Have the following message placed all over San Francisco just as the circus puts up posters...also feed it to all of the newspapers:

"A Life For A Life"...I, William Randolph Hearst, father of Patricia Hearst...will do the following for anyone...who will bring my daughter Patricia back safely to me. I will set you up for life...you will need for nothing. All living expenses will be paid, and a home (house) purchased for you. It need not be in the United States; it can be anywhere in the world...and I will personally pay for your living expenses, necessities, for the rest of your life. This, in return for my daughter's life. A fair trade. But more: anyone "turning in" a member of the SLA so that the member is captured by the authorities...will be paid $10,000.00 (or 25,000) by me in immediate cash! Simply call the FBI, say you are "The Owl" and give details on how the member, or members, can be found...and as soon as they are captured, call the FBI again and tell them where you want the money delivered; your reward. And you will have it within 24 hours. And no one will have your identity. You will not be touched by the FBI or any of the authorities. You will be free to be happy with all the money. Signed, William Randolph Hearst."

Try it, Mr. Hearst...this worked in a grand manner back in the Wild West with reward posters. It still will today. There are some weak members of the SLA who will "bite". I feel it in my bones.
