As to all of these letters which you have now identified this morning,
or substantially all of them, had you been in correspondence with your
brother in the sense that you also wrote him?
Mr. OSWALD. Yes, sir, that is correct.
Mr. JENNER. Did you by any chance happen to retain a copy of, or copies
of any of the letters you sent him?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir, I did not.
Mr. JENNER. So that at the moment we would have to call solely on your
recollection as to what you might have written during this period of
time while he was in Russia?
Mr. OSWALD. That is correct.
Mr. DULLES. You made no copies of the letters yourself when you sent
them--you just sent an original? There was no copy?
Mr. OSWALD. That is correct, no copies were made.
Mr. JENNER. I suggested that you might, during the evening, read the
letter of November 26th so as to refresh your recollection as to
whether you had written him posing questions to which he responded.
Have you had that opportunity?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir; I have not had that opportunity to read this
letter.
Mr. JENNER. I would prefer to pass this letter, then, Mr. Chairman,
until the witness does have an opportunity to read it. Would you try
and do so at your first opportunity?
Mr. OSWALD. All right, sir.
Mr. McKENZIE. It won't take but a minute here to do it.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. DULLES. We will recess for lunch at this time.
(Whereupon, at 12:15 p.m., the President's Commission recessed.)
