The bottom states that Dillinger is wanted for “feloniously and knowingly transporting Ford V-8 four door sedan…from Crown Point, Indiana to Chicago, Illinois.” Includes a TLS by J. Edgar Hoover, one page, Federal Bureau of Investigation letterhead, March 21, 1938, responding to an autograph request.
