Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, he was what I would term an assiduous reader.
Mr. Jenner. I am directing your attention to his—oh, say, from age, let's say, nine or ten to the time he enlisted in the Marines—maybe we better go back a little bit more, since you were away. I would like to cover his youth up to the time he enlisted in the Marines. Is that the period of which you speak?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not. I speak of a later period—my visit to New Orleans after I received my discharge from the Marine Corps.
Mr. Jenner. And before he enlisted in the marines?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; before he enlisted in the Marine Corps. And of his moving to Fort Worth.
Mr. Jenner. Fix the time.
Mr. Oswald. With mother—in 1955.
Mr. Jenner. On these occasions you observed him reading assiduously?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And you had an opportunity, and you embraced it to some extent, just out of curiosity if nothing else, of observing the nature and character of the literature and the subject matter of the literature he was reading?
