Hand-addressed airmail envelope, 5.5 x 3.5, addressed in Oswald’s hand to his mother, “U. S. A., 1808 Eagle St., Apt. 3, Vernon, Texas, Mrs. M. Oswald,” and adding his Moscow return address in Russian including his name, “Minsk, ul. Kalinina, House 4, Apt. 24, A. Oswald.” Envelope bears four affixed Soviet stamps and postmarked Minsk, October 4, 1961. This was part of Warren Commission Exhibit No. 182, and is thinly laminated as is typical. In fine condition. Provenance: Collection of Dr. John K. Lattimer. During this period, Oswald was struggling to secure the correct paperwork to leave the USSR and return to the United States, and growing increasingly frustrated with the bureaucratic red tape he continued to encounter. While in Russia, Lee Harvey Oswald was known as ‘Alek.’ Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
