Mr. Dobbs.

That is correct, yes, under date of August 31, 1962. And the second item is an order blank requesting a book, The Teachings of Leon Trotsky, signed by Lee H. Oswald, stamped "Received" August 28, 1962. A third item is a letter under date of September 29, 1962, to Lee H. Oswald from Pioneer Publishers, acknowledging receipt of the order and indicating that the book ordered is out of print and that he will be given a 25-cent credit on the money he sent in.

Mr. Rankin.

The last item is the envelope?

Mr. Dobbs.

The last item is an envelope postmarked Dallas, Tex., either January 2 or January 21, it is difficult to discern, 1963, with Oswald's name in the upper left-hand corner.

Mr. Rankin.

Would you kindly initial that?

Mr. Dobbs.

Each separately.

Mr. Rankin.

No, just the first one.
(Witness complies.)

Mr. Rankin.

Did you handle any part of the transactions involved in Dobbs' No. 6 yourself?

Mr. Dobbs.

No, not personally. (Document marked Dobbs' Exhibit No. 7.

Mr. Rankin.

Will you examine Dobbs' No. 7 and tell us what it is, please?

Mr. Dobbs.

An office cash memo acknowledging 35 cents received from L. H. Oswald, dated January 11, 1963, and a letter to Pioneer Publishers from Lee H. Oswald under date of January l, 1963.

Mr. Rankin.

Will you initial that, please, Mr. Dobbs?
(Witness complies.)
(Document marked Dobbs' Exhibit No. 8.)

Mr. Rankin.

Will you examine Watts' No. 8 and tell us what that is.

Mr. Dobbs.

It is a letter to Lee H. Oswald from Pioneer Publishers under date of April 26, 1963.

Mr. Rankin.

Will you initial that?
(Witness complies.)
(Document marked Dobbs' Exhibit No. 9. )

Mr. Rankin.

And Dobbs' No. 9, tell us what that is, please.

Mr. Dobbs.

A coupon signed "Lee H. Oswald," received under date of October 31, 1962, in which he indicates, by placing a check in an appropriate place, that he would like to join the Socialist Workers Party.

Mr. Rankin.

That is what you have referred to in your prior testimony when you said that you would have responded to it in the way you have described if you knew that there was no organization in that locality?

Mr. Dobbs.

That is correct.

Mr. Rankin.

Was there a Socialist Workers Party organization in the Dallas area at that time?

Mr. Dobbs.

No, no; there was not.

Mr. Rankin.

You haven't discovered any copy of a communication to Lee Harvey Oswald along the lines that you have described, have you?

Mr. Dobbs.

No, sir; I have not.

Mr. Rankin.

But you know it is a standard practice, and that is the way you would have responded?

Mr. Dobbs.

That is correct.
(Document marked Dobbs' Exhibit No. 11.)

Mr. Rankin.

Mr. Dobbs, we have what has been marked as Dobbs' No. 11, which purports to be a copy, photocopy, of a carbon of your response as of November 5, 1962, to Mr. Oswald's letter. Will you examine that and see whether or not it is?

Mr. Rankin.

I would like to correct the record to show that this is a typewritten copy of .the original, apparently not the carbon.

Mr. Watts.

Clarify that. You are saying that it is a typewritten copy of the original of the letter.

Mr. Rankin.

Purportedly.

Mr. Watts.

Purportedly received by Mr. Oswald?

Mr. Rankin.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Off the record.
