"Rangely, March 16, ’48

Mr. H. A. Stewart
The Texas Company
Box 2100
Denver 10, Colo.

Dear Sir:

Please do not consider me in any way responsible for the silly nonsense published about me in the March 9th Dallas News. The editor’s imagination ran wide, as his knowledge of facts is narrow.

I already wrote Mr. Carruthers a note on this subject.

The fellows in the field are bound to make a laughing stock out of me because of this article.

Very truly yours,
G. de M."

George de Mohrenschildt (1911–1977) was a Russian-born geologist, academic, and cosmopolitan social figure who became historically significant due to his close association with Lee Harvey Oswald and Marina Oswald in the early 1960s. His background, foreign travel, intelligence-adjacent connections, and later interactions with investigators have placed him among the most scrutinized peripheral figures connected to the Kennedy assassination. Original primary-source material directly tied to de Mohrenschildt remains scarce and is highly sought after by collectors and researchers of Cold War and assassination-era history.

An exceptional archival grouping anchored by an original typed letter authored by one of the most enigmatic figures orbiting the Kennedy assassination narrative. The collection originates from a small and important archive of materials acquired from Doris Burns.

Fine condition.

George de Mohrenschildt (1911–1977) was a Russian-born geologist, petroleum consultant, and cosmopolitan social figure whose name became permanently linked to the investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. During the early 1960s, de Mohrenschildt resided in Dallas, Texas, where he became socially acquainted with Lee Harvey Oswald and Marina Oswald. While he was never charged with any crime, his interactions with Oswald placed him under intense scrutiny following the assassination.

De Mohrenschildt was interviewed multiple times by investigators and provided sworn testimony to the Warren Commission, where he detailed his limited social contact with Oswald and denied any foreknowledge of the assassination. His testimony and later statements—combined with his intelligence-adjacent background, international travel, and social circles—made him one of the most enigmatic peripheral figures in the case. In the years following the Warren Commission, de Mohrenschildt remained of interest to journalists and researchers until his death in 1977, shortly after renewed investigative attention.

Doris Burns was a Dallas-based acquaintance within de Mohrenschildt’s social orbit and the recipient of correspondence tied to this envelope. Burns was interviewed during the broader assassination inquiry process and is referenced within Warren Commission materials as part of the Commission’s effort to reconstruct de Mohrenschildt’s personal associations, movements, and communications. Her retained materials—envelopes and correspondence connected to de Mohrenschildt—offer rare documentary insight into the personal paper trail of a figure central to the assassination investigation’s unresolved questions.
