(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 15, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Rankin. Mr. Chief Justice, I think in the examination about this letter, if I would circulate it to the Commission it would be a little clearer what it is all about—if you could have a moment or two to examine it, I think it would help in your understanding of the examination.
Mrs. Oswald. This was typed on the typewriter belonging to Ruth.
Mr. Rankin. You can tell that by the looks of the typing, can you, Mrs. Oswald?
Mrs. Oswald. No, I don't know, but I know that he was typing there. I don't know what he was typing.
Mr. Rankin. And it is Ruth Paine's typewriter that you are referring to, when you say Ruth?
Mrs. Oswald. Ruth Paine. Because Lee did not have a typewriter, and it is hardly likely that he would have had it typed somewhere else.
Mr. Rankin. I hand you Exhibit 16, which purports to be the envelope for the letter, Exhibit 15. Have you ever seen that?
Mrs. Oswald. The envelope I did see. I did not see the letter, but I did see the envelope. Lee had retyped it some 10 times or so.
Mr. Rankin. Do you recall or could you clarify for us about the date on the envelope—whether it is November 2 or November 12?
