Mr. Jenner. Did you receive the letter, Commission Exhibit 294, in due course?
Mr. Oswald. I did. I received it on the 13th day of November 1959.
Mr. Jenner. Is this the letter to which you made reference in responding to Representative Ford's questions?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; that is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Is the letter in the same condition now and is the envelope now in the same condition now that it was when you received it except that the envelope has been opened to remove the contents?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; they are.
Mr. Jenner. Does that include the scratching out that appears at the bottom of the second page?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; it does.
Mr. Jenner. Is that which appears under the attempted obliteration, can you see what was obliterated on the second page, when you examine the original?
Mr. Oswald. I might refer to the first cross out there, it looks like he had signed his name there "Lee." The second cross out, one word or three words or four words out of the five are legible "this written in Russian" the balance of the words that were crossed out, I cannot make out.
