Nagell writes to sister Eleanore Gambert. Alleges that William Martin informed him of Martin's alleged status as a former CIA employee.

Nagell writes his sister: "I can state with good foundation that if [the tape] was stolen, it was not stolen in 1964. In the same vein, I can also say that while the item involved may indeed no longer be available, it is not in the custody of the opposition either."(300)
