I ask you if Exhibit 205 is a correct transcription of your letter.

MRS. OSWALD. Yes.

(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 205, for

identification.)

Mrs. OSWALD. "I am writing you on behalf of my son. He is out of the

country at present, and since I have no contact with him I wish to

request a stay of action concerning his discharge. Also, I desire to

be informed of the charges against him. Please state reasons for such

discharge. After hearing from you, I will be willing to act in his

behalf."

So then comes a registered return receipt, addressed only to Mr. Lee

Harvey Oswald.

Mr. RANKIN. Now, will you examine the rest of Exhibit 204 and state

whether that is the rest of the correspondence in regard to the matter

that you know about?

Mrs. OSWALD. This is addressed to me--this envelope is addressed to me,

that is right, sir.

Mr. RANKIN. And those photostatic copies in Exhibit 204 are all copies

of your papers that you furnished to us, so we could make them, is that

right?

Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, sir, that is correct.

Mr. RANKIN. I offer in evidence Exhibits 204 and 205.

The CHAIRMAN. They may be admitted, with those numbers.

(The documents heretofore marked for identification as Commission

Exhibits Nos. 204 and 205 were received in evidence.)

Mrs. OSWALD. I believe, Chief Justice Warren, I am giving information

that this Commission did not have before. I do not think they had this

return addressee, which is important, because after corresponding with

me, as Mrs. Marguerite Oswald, they sent the dishonorable discharge in

Lee's name, addressee only, when they knew he was out of the country.
