Summary  
The text contains fragmented FBI records detailing an investigation into James Earl Ray’s movements and potential connections to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. On November 21, 1968, Mr. Benjamin C. Duke, a motel clerk in New Orleans, reported that an individual named GALT (possibly Rric S. Galt) stayed at the Provincial Motel on December 17–19, 1967, in Room 126. The room was assigned due to availability, with no specific reservation details recorded. Duke noted GALT may have been a single traveler seeking low-cost accommodations. Mr. Chew Wing Lee, owner of Wing Lee Laundry, confirmed recognizing James Earl Ray from newspaper photos but stated he only did laundry for the Provincial Motel without tracking individual guests. The text also references other motels in New Orleans and surrounding areas where Ray may have stayed under aliases like Rric S. Galt or John H. Davis, with dates spanning 1963–1967.
