Dear Mr Hunt...

[Jerry Freeman]

If you have, was it full-sized and sufficiently well-reproduced so that one can see in it the details McNally testified about and wrote about?
I've never seen a full size well reproduced copy of the note..... 
 

 There is really not all that much to it. Where did the [really scribbled] note come from again?

 There is really not all that much to it. Where did the [really scribbled] note come from again?

HL Hunt's right hand man John  Curington, said that HL Hunt received the "Dear Mr Hunt"  note through the interoffice mail at Hunt Oil Company headquarters in Dallas shortly after the assassination .   I believe that the note was in an envelope addresses to HL Hunt and it had no postage stamp or postmark on it....

[Jerry Freeman]

He was in a very ebullient and in happy mood at the House of Paine that weekend ....WHY??  Could it be that HL Hunt had offered him a position at Hunt Oil....  Was the reason for the note simply a request for a little more information about that position? Perhaps many of you will recall that Fidel Castro grabbed many American owned businesses when he took over in Cuba....  H.L. hunt owned some of those manufacturing and refineries. Hunt Knew that Fidel Castro was dealing with the Russians, ( trading cheap Russian oil for Cuban sugar. )   Since Lee was fluent in Russian and was married to a Russian woman He would have been valuable to H.L Hunt as an interpreter for conversations between Cuba and Russia......  Is it possible that this is the position that Hunt had offered Lee Oswald?  HL Hunt must have been furious to know that Castro was using his refineries to profit ....in competition with his western enterprises.....

Frequently, serious minded entrepreneurs could consult with HL [who was filthy rich even without Cuba]
Anyway, if they could convince Hunt that the enterprise they had in mind was promising..Mr Hunt would finance them full throttle with projected success. There would be a contract and for the first year or so he would reap a large share of the profits and beyond at least until he recovered his investment and a good deal of interest. One such venture was his own son..Lamar who created a professional football team - the Dallas Texans [later to become the Kansas City Chiefs] As wealthy as H L Hunt was......he drove an old '50s Chevy 5 window pickup to work and packed his own sack lunch.

Well I guess I was really wondering is ..what happened to the original [as the FBI couldn't 'determine' anything without it?]--

John Curington confirms this ......But Curington said that Hunt drove a car....not a pickup....   I'd like to know EXACTLY what kind of vehicle Hunt drove?   Many years ago I remember reading that he drove a ten year old Oldsmobile.....  Perhaps someone near Dallas could call John Curington and ask him?

Jerry , Thank you very much fot posting the links....I hope everybody reads the articles....There is so much to discussed in them....

From the article...."Curington says that Hunt furnished Walker with background for his speeches, and he sometimes accompanied Hunt to Walker?s home, where someone took a shot at Walker on April 10, 1963. According to Curington, Walker told him and Hunt that Oswald was a suspect in the shooting BEFORE the assassination. ?Clearly, the police and possibly even the FBI had Oswald on the radar, at least for that shooting,? says Curington. And if that?s true, it radically alters the official version of events."

Clearly, the police and possibly even the FBI had Oswald on the radar, at least for that shooting,?

The FBI ( Read that as J.Edgar Hoover and his private hit squad) were working with Walker and they knew of the HOAX that Walker and De Morhenschildt had cooked up which was created to make Lee appear to be a communist revolutionary in sympathy With Fidel Castro.....

So Yes...Walker DID know that Lee Oswald was a simple, naive, patriotic sucker who could be set up to be blamed for the murder of JFK when the time was ripe....

   Curington said that Hunt drove a car....not a pickup....   

I was just going by what another Hunt employee told me.

After re-reading that review..according to Curington...the original was turned over to the FBI and that he never saw it again..no surprise there.
