*Mrs. OSWALD. And shortly after that, my aunt wrote me. Then I understood that perhaps the letters I wrote my aunt never reached her.
Senator RUSSELL. She did not refer to your letters when she wrote to you?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. No; the only thing that she wrote, she was glad to get--that she learned my address.
Senator RUSSELL. Did she say how she learned it? That was my next question?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. The supervisory of a drugstore, an apothecary----
Senator RUSSELL. An apothecary?
*Mrs. OSWALD. Or manager of a drugstore telephoned my aunt and told her she received a letter from me.
Senator RUSSELL. But she did not answer that letter, or if she did, you didn't receive it?

Mrs. Oswald.

No---she answered this letter.
Senator RUSSELL. I understand, but the friend in the apothecary, did he answer?*

Mrs. Oswald.

No.
Senator RUSSELL. Now, in some of your testimony you referred to a time when you became somewhat piqued with Lee about something and wrote one of your old friends there and forgot to put the stamp or didn't know that the stamps had been increased--you recall that testimony, do you not?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.
Senator RUSSELL. Did you write to any of your other friends there and put the proper stamps on them?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. No; this was the only letter I wrote.
Senator RUSSELL. The only one you wrote?
*Mrs. OSWALD. This was the only letter I wrote after I found out the proper postage required for mailing letters. After that, my aunt never wrote me.
Senator RUSSELL. Have you corresponded with your uncle or aunt at any time since this great tragedy?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. Yes; I did.
Senator RUSSELL. And did you receive any reply?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.
Senator RUSSELL. Have you written them more than once since this great tragedy?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. I don't remember exactly whether I did or not.
Senator RUSSELL. But you've written them at least once without receiving a reply?
*Mrs. OSWALD. I remember well that I wrote at least once, maybe it was twice or three times, but I don't remember.
Senator RUSSELL. Has any official of the Russian Government communicated with you since this great tragedy?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. No; no one ever communicated with me from the Soviet Embassy or any other representative of the Soviet Government, and I felt rather bad about it, because there I was--all alone in a strange country and I did not receive any encouragement from anyone. They didn't approach me even as a show of interest in my well-being.
Senator RUSSELL. You didn't even hear from them with reference to your application for visas to return to Russia, although you had heard from them prior to the time Lee was killed?* **
*Mrs. OSWALD. Not after Lee was killed.
Senator RUSSELL. Now, if I've understood it from reading your testimony, Mrs. Oswald, Lee went to Mexico from New Orleans a day or two after Mrs. Paine brought you back to Texas, is that right?
*Mrs. OSWALD. I do not know definitely, but I believe Mrs. Paine and I left one day before he went to Mexico.
Senator RUSSELL. He had talked to you about going to Mexico, had he not?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. Yes; he had told me he was going to Mexico.
Senator RUSSELL. And he had told you that he intended to visit the Russian Embassy and the Cuban consulate while he was there?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.
