Summary:  
The text includes an FBI teletype dated October 3, 1968, regarding a letter from James Earl Ray to J.B. Stoner in Savannah, Georgia, thanking Stoner for visiting Memphis and mentioning Ray's brother would contact Stoner. The document references a legal motion by Arthur J. Hayes, Ray’s attorney, in Shelby County Criminal Court, Tennessee, concerning the privilege of Ray’s correspondence with his attorney. Judge W. Preston Battle ruled that while such communications are privileged, the Shelby County Sheriff or their designated agent may review these notes for jailhouse purposes but not to access full message contents.
