Summary:  
The documents detail FBI investigative activities related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., focusing on tracking individuals suspected in the plot. An anonymous letter and a mail envelope addressed to the FBI in Miami are submitted as evidence. A slip of paper with handwritten text referencing "Get Tommy Nash" and "Kings Killer" is also included. The FBI notes fingerprint examinations will be conducted and retained. Vehicle records for a 1968 Mustang (VIN 607/C190647, license plate 1-3/893-3) are checked in Miami, Florida, but no match is found. Multiple FD-36 forms from April 12, 1968, outline efforts to trace Eric Starvo Galt and John Willard via Eastern Airlines flight records, reservations, and contact information. The FBI interviews Joseph James Gault and Simone Matte Gault, noting their family connections and potential use of alternate names (e.g., "Galt" or "Gault"). Investigations also involve locating Donald Cameron Gault, son of Joseph James Gault, and contacting Mrs. George Steadley in Jersey City, New Jersey, to determine his whereabouts. The FBI warns that the unknown subject under investigation should be considered armed and dangerous.
