Mr. Rankin. The letter I was referring to is Exhibit 200.
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, sir, it is this letter.
Mr. Rankin. We offer in evidence Exhibit 200.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 200 and received in evidence.)
Mr. Rankin. Now, this one starting, "Dear Mother, received your letter, and so forth"—that is the one about the Marines, when he was asking you about getting out of the service and your need, and so forth?
Mrs. Oswald. This is the letter which shows the different character of the boy that the newspapers are making of him—when I wrote and told him I had sold my furniture, and that my compensation and medical was stopped, immediately my son sends a special delivery letter, and that is the letter "received your letter, was very unhappy. I have contacted the Red Cross, and they will contact you." This is a nice boy to do this immediately, when he finds his mother is in trouble. He is not a louse, like the papers have been making him out. He might have some bad points, but so do all of us.
Mr. Rankin. We will ask the reporter to mark this.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 201 for identification.)
Mr. Rankin. Exhibit 201 is the letter you are just referring to?
