Referring to my testimony yesterday—at which time I replied to his letter of November 8, 1959, on his request for any money that I might send him, I stated to him I would gladly send him the necessary money for his return to the United States, and for that reason only.
I did not enclose any money in my answer.
Mr. Jenner. Now, that is an interesting factor about which I would like to inquire of you; also, as to its implication.
Later, your brother, as the correspondence we have now introduced in evidence discloses, desired to return to the United States. And he was having, according to the correspondence, some problem in raising the necessary funds to return to the United States.
Did he at any time write you requesting that you honor your letter in response to his letter of November 8th in which you said you would gladly send him money to return to the United States?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; he did not request it directly. He had certainly indicated, as his letters do indicate, that he was having a little difficulty in raising the necessary funds to return to the United States. And I, in my reply to that letter, volunteered to raise the necessary funds to bring his wife and himself to the United States.
Mr. Jenner. Would you identify the particular letter to which you now refer?
Mr. Oswald. In reply to your question, sir, I am referring to the letter of February 15, 1962.
Mr. Jenner. Which, for the record, is Commission Exhibit 315.
Did you respond to that letter and offer to advance to him the funds necessary to bring about his return to the United States?
