X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain
I am looking for a copy of the following NICK CARTER episodes. At least three
of them are known to exist. There is some interesting trivia I want to
substantiate by listening to them but it seems none of the dealers I know of
has these. Can anyone help?
"The Case of the Hypnotic Hostess" (May 21, 1950)
"The Case of the Fatal Redhead" (April 25, 1948)
"The Case
of the Forgotten Murder" (Jan. 15, 1950)
"The Case of the Murder Memory"
(Aug. 26, 1951)
I am willing to reimburse anyone for a copy of these in any format. Please
contact me off list.
