Details:

Dimitri von Mohrenschildt autographed typed letter signed dated July 23, 1993, written from the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, India, to researcher Bruce Campbell Adamson regarding theories surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and Dimitri’s brother, George de Mohrenschildt. The one-page typed letter is boldly signed in blue ink, “D. Von Mohrenschildt,” and is accompanied by the original registered airmail mailing envelope bearing Indian postage, postal markings, and Sri Aurobindo Ashram cachet.

In the content of the letter, Dimitri thanks Adamson for materials previously sent to him before discussing New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison’s book “JFK—On the Trail of the Assassins.” Dimitri states that he found Garrison’s interpretation of the Kennedy assassination “much more plausible” than Adamson’s and bluntly remarks, “I am afraid you are on the wrong track.” The letter then directly references George de Mohrenschildt, noting that Garrison personally knew and interviewed him several times. Dimitri proceeds to quote a passage from Garrison’s book asserting that George de Mohrenschildt’s “duties were limited to escort supervision of Oswald” before Lee Harvey Oswald was allegedly positioned as the “scapegoat for the assassination.” The letter concludes with Dimitri noting that he was not feeling well and unable to continue corresponding further at that time.

Fine condition with expected mailing folds and handling wear. Accompanied by the original registered transmittal envelope.

Provenance: From the personal archive of Kennedy assassination researcher Bruce Campbell Adamson. Accompanied by a full spiral bound volume from Adamson's research on the de Mohrenschildts.

Dimitri von Mohrenschildt was the brother of George de Mohrenschildt and spent much of his later life residing in India at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry. Unlike George, Dimitri remained largely outside the public spotlight, making surviving signed correspondence from him especially scarce. His letters discussing George de Mohrenschildt, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jim Garrison, and competing Kennedy assassination theories provide an unusual firsthand family perspective connected to one of the most debated episodes in modern American history.

George de Mohrenschildt (1911–1977) was a Russian-born petroleum geologist and socialite best remembered for his association with Lee Harvey Oswald in the months prior to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. His relationship with Oswald and later testimony before investigators made him one of the most controversial peripheral figures connected to the Kennedy assassination. George’s death in 1977, officially ruled a suicide shortly before he was scheduled to testify before the House Select Committee on Assassinations, further intensified intrigue surrounding his role in JFK assassination history.
