Mrs. Oswald. $1.35 an hour, I think. I am not sure.
Mr. Rankin. How long did he work for this coffee company?
Mrs. Oswald. I think it was from May until August, to the end of August.
Mr. Rankin. Was he discharged?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. And then was he unemployed for a time?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. After you had discussed with your husband your going to Russia, was anything done about that?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, I wrote a letter to the Soviet Embassy with a request to be permitted to return. And then it seems to me after I was already in New Orleans, I wrote another letter in which I told the Embassy that my husband wants to return with me.
Mr. Rankin. Do you recall the date of the first letter that you just referred to?
