Mrs. Oswald. There was a notebook, yes, that is the one.
Mr. Rankin. What did you do with the note that he had left for you after you talked about it and said you were going to keep it?
Mrs. Oswald. I had it among my things in a cookbook. But I have two—I don't remember in which.
Mr. Rankin. Did your relations with your husband change after this Walker incident?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. Will you describe to us the changes as you observed them?
Mrs. Oswald. Soon after that, Lee lost his job—I don't know for what reason. He was upset by it. And he looked for work for several days. And then I insisted that it would be better for him to go to New Orleans where he had relatives. I insisted on that because I wanted to get him further removed from Dallas and from Walker, because even though he gave me his word, I wanted to have him further away, because a rifle for him was not a very good toy—a toy that was too enticing.
Mr. Rankin. Did you say that you wanted him to go to New Orleans because of the Walker incident?
Mrs. Oswald. No. I simply told him that I wanted to see his home town. He had been born there.
Mr. Rankin. When he promised you that he would not do anything like that again, did you then believe him?
