Notes
Final track of disc 2 of a 2CD BBC Audio selection of 1960s Letters, linked by Matt Frei. Discogs dates the track "Jun 9, 1968" - the same date as the preceding Robert Kennedy letter and before the massacre became public (November 1969), so the broadcast date is unverified. Primary location is the base (New York); born Salford.
