He mentioned the Pax Hotel, Warwick Way, as his address. I said I knew the street in Pimlico and would write as soon as I could find the address or CRISPS.

The document contains fragmented accounts of interactions involving Raymond Sneyd, a man who contacted Ian Colvin regarding an address for CRISP (possibly a person or organization). Sneyd was later arrested at Heathrow Airport and linked to inquiries about mercenaries. A postcard sent to Sneyd was undelivered, leading to his identification through hotel records. Mrs. Anna Thomas, proprietor of the Pax Hotel in London, reported that Sneyd stayed at her establishment, describing his appearance, behavior, and departure. Another witness, Janet Elizabeth Nassan, detailed Sneyd’s stay at the New Farls Court Hotel, including phone calls made to the Daily Telegraph and his travel arrangements via Kennedy Travel Bureau Ltd. The text also includes unrelated sections on silencer technology, firearm regulations, and travel services, which appear to be administrative or informational content rather than directly related to the MLK assassination investigation.
