Mrs. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Rankin. We offer in evidence Exhibits 206 through 227, both inclusive.
The Chairman. They may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibit Nos. 206 through 227, heretofore marked for identification, were received in evidence.)
Mrs. Oswald. This is the card that goes with this letter, as an explanation.
(The card referred to was marked Exhibit No. 240 for identification.)
Mr. Rankin. Exhibit 240 is the card you have just referred to that goes with Exhibit 227, is that right?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin. We offer in evidence Exhibit 240, and ask that a copy be substituted.
The Chairman. That may be admitted.
(The card referred to was received in evidence as Commission Exhibit No. 240.)
Mr. Rankin. Mrs. Oswald, would you examine exhibits 228 through 236, both inclusive? And tell us whether or not those appear to be photostatic copies of correspondence about the Albert Schweitzer College and application?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, that is right. That is right. This is correct. That is right. That is right. That is right. That is right. That is right. That is right. That is right. That is right. That is right.
Those are all right, sir.
Mr. Rankin. You have just finished comparing Exhibits 228 through 236 both inclusive, and found them to be correct photostatic copies of your files concerning the Albert Schweitzer matter?
Mrs. Oswald. That is right.
Mr. Rankin. We offer in evidence, Exhibits 228 through 236 both inclusive.
The Chairman. They may be admitted.
(The photostatic copies referred to were received in evidence as Commission Exhibit Nos. 228 through 236, inclusive.)
The Chairman. Have you introduced all the records you have now?
Mr. Rankin. Just a few more, Mr. Chairman.
(The document referred to was marked 241 for identification.)
Mr. Rankin. Mrs. Oswald, I hand you Exhibit 241 and ask you if that is one of the letters that you referred to in your testimony?
Mrs. Oswald. That is right.
Mr. Rankin. And it is one that you received?
Mrs. Oswald. It is one that I received in a letter from Russia, from Lee. And you have the letter, telling me to go to the International Rescue Committee, and to show the papers to the Red Cross in Vernon. This is the letter inclosed in that letter.
Mr. Rankin. We offer in evidence Exhibit 241, and ask leave to substitute a copy.
The Chairman. It may be admitted.
(The letter referred to was received in evidence as Commission Exhibit No. 241.)
(Documents marked 242 and 243 for identification.)
Mr. Rankin. Exhibits 242 and 243 are the telegram and the letter you received back from your transmission to the White House that you have testified about this morning, is that right?
Mrs. Oswald. That is right.
Mr. Rankin. And you say you would like to have the originals back?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin. We offer in evidence Exhibits 242 and 243 and ask leave to substitute copies.
The Chairman. It may be admitted on that condition.
(Commission Exhibits Nos. 242 and 243 were admitted in evidence.)
The Chairman. Are all the records identified now and admitted, Mr. Rankin?
Mr. Rankin. Mr. Chairman, we have one further matter, and that is some correspondence that involves her son's communications with the Embassy, which correspondence was examined in the presence of Mr. Mark Lane when we were taking photostatic copies. And during that examination, Mrs. Oswald was able to identify the handwriting on part of them, and not able to identify it on another part. Is that right, Mrs. Oswald?
Mrs. Oswald. That is right; yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin. And we think we should probably, to cover that matter, ask her briefly to point those out.
The Chairman. Very well. Let's get that done before we adjourn, and then we will adjourn for lunch.
Mr. Rankin. Mr. Reporter, I will ask you to mark these exhibits, which are the ones that I understand Mrs. Oswald was able to identify the handwriting on.
(Documents were marked Commission Exhibits Nos. 244 through 250 for identification.)
Mr. Rankin. Mrs. Oswald, will you examine Exhibits 244 through 250, both inclusive, and tell us whether or not those are photostatic copies of communications of your son that you recognize the handwriting on of the originals?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Doyle. If you do not on any one of them, announce the number.
Mrs. Oswald. This is one I would believe that I have stated—if he wrote it, he wrote it very careful. It is not scribbled like he usually does.
Mr. Doyle. That is 246.
Mr. Rankin. Can you tell whether or not that is his signature on the second page of Exhibit 246?
Mrs. Oswald. It is just a little different. That could be forged. Just a little difference. We write left handed, and we have a trend.
Mr. Rankin. Is that one that you said before that you thought you could recognize?
Mrs. Oswald. I don't know, sir. I have no way of knowing. How would I know?
Mr. Rankin. Do you recognize the handwriting now?
Mrs. Oswald. As I have stated before, when I am looking at it, it doesn't appear to be immediately as Lee's handwriting. But it could be something that he has recopied over and over to get such a perfect lettering. It is not scribbled like we usually scribble. Now, this was one also that I would say——
Mr. Rankin. That is Exhibit 247.
Mrs. Oswald. That is scribbled.
Mr. Rankin. That is more scribbled, you say?
Mrs. Oswald. It is not quite as his ordinary writing. It is a little more thoughtfully written.
Mr. Rankin. You think it is his, though?
Mrs. Oswald. I would say this is his.
Mr. Rankin. Yes.
Mrs. Oswald. Now, this is thoughtfully written, too, yet it is his.
Mr. Rankin. Exhibit 248.
Mrs. Oswald. I am looking at this handwriting, because the rest of it is printed. I do not know too much about Lee's printing.
Mr. Rankin. Can you tell about the handwriting?
Mrs. Oswald. The signature looks like Lee's signature.
Mr. Rankin. Yes.
Mrs. Oswald. I will state again this looks like Lee's handwriting, but very thoughtfully written.
Mr. Rankin. That is Exhibit 249. Is that right?
Mrs. Oswald. That is right. And this is Lee's signature.
Mr. Rankin. That is Exhibit 250 that you just referred to?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, sir. Now, I would say it is all Lee's handwriting, but very thoughtfully written.
Mr. Rankin. Thank you. We offer in evidence Exhibits 244 through 250, both inclusive.
The Chairman.
