Blank black-bordered mourning card, 6 x 3.5, reading, “Thank you, Mrs. Marina N. Oswald and children.” Includes the original mailing envelope, addressed in Marina Oswald's hand, and postmarked December 21, 1963, Dallas, Texas. Various tack holes to top and bottom borders, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by an emailed statement from the original recipient, in part: “Marina was ‘a stranger in a foreign land.’ Like the Bible says. I felt such pity for her…She must have feared for her own life, when people all around her were showing such anger and hatred for her husband…The only things I remember writing in my letter to her, was how sorry I was for her, and her situation…I didn’t expect an answer. I was amazed when the little black-edged letter came. I was pleased that my letter found her, because I had no address for her. You can see by the post mark, that it was several weeks later. I pinned it on our bulletin board for our kids to see.” RR Auction COA.
