(Testimony of Mrs. Marguerite Oswald Resumed)

Mr. Rankin.
And these copies were made under your supervision were they not.
Mrs. Oswald.
That is correct. And I voluntarily gave you every copy I have. That is correct. That is correct. That is correct.
Some of this seems to be scratched out here.
Mr. Doyle.
On Exhibit No. 221, there seems to be some X markings around. Will you put that aside, and we can compare that with the original.
Mrs. Oswald.
This is correct. That is correct. That is correct. I don't remember writing to Mrs. James. I remember calling her on the telephone.
This is my handwriting. I guess I did. Yes, that is my handwriting. That is correct. That is correct. That is correct. And this is correct, but should have a card with it.
Mr. Doyle.
You are referring to 227?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes. And it should have with it a card, a postcard, from Lee.
Mr. Doyle.
Set 227 aside with 221.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you have a copy of 221?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
Will you please check to see that is a correct copy.
Mr. Chairman, I think that we might gain time now if we would check these exhibits out with Mrs. Oswald, and be able to offer them at whatever time we reconvene. That is all we propose to do now.
The Chairman.
All right.
Mrs. Oswald.
This is the card that should have gone with that.
Mr. Rankin.
Mrs. Oswald, were you able to find your copy of Exhibit 221, and compare it and see whether that which is marked on is on your copy?
Mrs. Oswald.
No sir, we have not found that yet.
"Yours 11th" is scratched out.
Mr. Rankin.
So that 221 is correct, but apparently there are some errors----
Mrs. Oswald.
There are more errors, too. Because it doesn't say "'Services Department of State."
Mr. Doyle.
221 does not appear to be a photostat of the exhibit.
Mr. Rankin.
But it does have exactly the same material on it, doesn't it?
Mrs. Oswald.
It doesn't have this--"collect." I would not say it was an exact copy.
Mr. Doyle.
It appears to have substantially the information on it. It is not a photostat of it.
Mr. Rankin.
I might advise you, Mrs. Oswald, this is from the State Department's file, from which the telegram was made up that was sent to you.
Mr. Doyle.
It is not a photostat, but it does have substantially the information that is set forth in the telegram itself.
Mr. Rankin.
Now, you have examined all of the exhibits. 206 through 227, both inclusive, and found them, except for what you and your counsel said about exhibit 221, and the card that was with 227, to be correct.
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?
