Oswald Signed Letter

Lee Harvey Oswald ALS. Signed "Lee," 1p. To his brother Robert. Warren Commission Exhibit No. 297. In full, "I will be moving from this hotel, and so you need not write me here. I have chosen to remove all ties with my past, so I will not write again, nor do I wish you to try and contact me. I'm sure you understand that I would not like to receive correspondence from people in the country which I fled. I am starting a new life and I do not wish to have anything to do with the old life. I hope you and your family will always be in good health. Lee," On a included photocopy, Robert L. Oswald has handwritten, "He already tried to commit suicide and the writing & tone reflect that to me. It was a great disappointment to receive this letter without knowing what else was happening to him. R.L.O." 5 3/4 x 8. Sale History: Herman Darvick Autograph Auctions, November 1992
