Mr. Oswald. There again I believe we did more talking through the mails about why he went to Russia than we did when he returned from Russia. I, of course, wanted to talk to him about this.
Mr. Dulles. You have those letters, I believe.
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; we have those letters.
Mr. McKenzie. Those letters have already been given to the Commission.
Mr. Jenner. We will present them in evidence, I think probably this afternoon.
Representative Boggs. Did he ever tell you?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; not point blank did he ever tell me why he went to Russia.
Representative Boggs. Did he tell you why he came back?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; that he was in—the letters that I have from him while he was in Russia would indicate the same thing, that he was very unhappy living in Russia and he wanted to return to the United States, which, of course, made me very happy, and I felt like, and tried to look at it from the standpoint that maybe he just sowed some wild oats. He kind of went off to the far end of it, but I believe everyone of us at one time, especially around that age, might have done something or reached out far afield, so to speak, before we came to our senses and returned to a normal life.
Mr. Dulles. Did he seem different when he came back from Russia, was there a change in the man before and after?
