Dear Walter,

EDIT # 1:

Handwriting expert McNally said that the poor-quality photocopy Penn Jones received from a mysterious source in Mexico City (Nikolai Leonov?) twelve years after the assassination and "dated" November 8, 1963, looked as though it was a blown up photocopy of a microfilm image which itself was out of focus.

Which suggests that the mysterious sender wanted the note to be fuzzy so that it couldn't be analyzed with any certainty.

Care to comment?

EDIT # 2:

In your first post, this thread, you wrote:

Whitington presented a photo of the note in the book that is a bit different than other copies of the note that I've seen...which leads me to believe that Curington presented a photocopy of the note to Mitchel.

Dear Walter,

Would you please specify what these differences are?

Thank you.

Completely rewritten, then edited again, and bumped.

Dear Walter,

Why not?

Would doing so tend to indicate that more than one "Dear Mr. Hunt" note was written, and maybe even over the years?

There was only ONE  "Dear Mr Hunt" note.... that is the one that Lee Oswald wrote to Mr H.L. Hunt on November 8. 1963.   It's the note in which Lee requested a meeting with Mr H.L. Hunt so he could clarify and better understand his role.... before any action was taken by himself or anybody else.....

Dear Walter,

Why did you write in your first post, this thread, that there appeared to be differences between Carrington's note and other copies of the note that you've seen?

Are you talking about a difference or two that a photocopying machine could somehow make in its reproduction of the (itself photocopied) note?

Or of photocopies of photocopies?

Please explain.

Thank you.

If you'll present the "Dear Mr Hunt note" that McNally was using.... perhaps we can move forward and better understand what he meant about various aspects of the note.....

Dear Walter,

Have you never seen it?

How many "Dear Mr. Hunt" notes have you seen over the years?

Excluding Carrington's, do they all look the same?

If so, how does Carrington's vary from the others you have seen?

Regardless, how shall I go about "presenting" said note so that you can make out the details that he testified about and wrote about?

Shall I borrow it from the National Archives and have it professionally scanned for you?

Just post what you believe to be the note that McNally was using......

In the book "Reasonable Doubt" by Henry Hurt the caption beneath the photocopy of the note reads....Quote... " Bearing Oswald's name, this note to "Mr Hunt" dated November 8. 1963 was mailed anonymously to a Texas assassination researcher in 1975. Handwriting experts have differed over whether the writing really is Oswald's. No definite answer could be reached by experts empaneled by the HSCA . However there are striking similarities to Oswald's erratic style and handwriting
 The identity of "Mr Hunt" is not known."


I believe the Texas assassination researcher was .......Penn Jones

The wording beneath the photocopy says "This note to Mr Hunt"...Implies that the actual note was sent to the researcher....Not a photocopy of the note....
