(Testimony of John Edward Pic Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
There is an exhibit still before you marked John Pic Exhibit No.
Mr. Pic.
Exhibit No. 59.
Mr. Jenner.
What is that?
Mr. Pic.
This appears to be a "shot" record of Lee Harvey Oswald written in an unknown hand, which gives him a smallpox date of August 7, 1951.
Mr. Jenner.
How did that come into your possession?
Mr. Pic.
It was just laying in the box with all this other stuff, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
I offer those exhibits now commencing with Exhibit No. 31-A to and including Exhibits Nos. 47-B, plus 59, in evidence.
(The documents referred to were marked John Pic Exhibits Nos. 31-A to 47-B, inclusive, and Exhibit No. 59 for identification and received in evidence.)
Mr. Jenner.
Mr. Pic, we have made copies of all those exhibits and we appreciate your bringing the originals, and you may take the originals back with you to San Antonio. Those exhibits consisting of the photographs of your brother which you brought, we will have duplicated and returned .to you in due course.
Mr. Pic.
All right.
Mr. Jenner.
Direct your attention, if you will, to Exhibit No. 9-A, an envelope and its contents, Exhibit No. 9, this being a letter from Fort Worth, June 9, 1950, to you at Brooklyn, N.Y.
There is an inside page reading, "Mother called in on and told some of my problems." Do you find that?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Uncle Dutz wired $75. That is your uncle Charles Murret?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And then it reads, "And Lee was invited to spend a couple of weeks, so I sent him on the train by himself. To what is your mother referring in connection with her problems and the wiring of the $75 by your uncle?
Mr. Pic.
It appears to me, sir, that at this time period she was between jobs. Further down she states she is starting on a new job Monday.
Mr. Jenner.
Does she refer to that job on the page that is numbered 3, I believe, as McDonald Kitchens is the name?
Mr. Pic.
She first refers to it on the one where it begins, "Mother called in on".
Mr. Jenner.
Now, the mother there mentioned is your mother, isn't it?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Then there is a page numbered 3?
Mr. Pic.
That is right, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Which referred to McDonald's Kitchens as the name and what they do is cook food for commercial use?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
"I will drive a station wagon and deliver the food, also."
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Is that a job she was about to obtain?
Mr. Pic.
I can only assume from the letter, sir; I have no other knowledge of that.
Mr. Jenner.
She makes a reference on that page "Haven't sold the house as yet but have a good prospect." Calling your attention to the date, June 9, 1950, what house was that?
Mr. Pic.
I am sure this refers to the little house in Benbrook, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
It refers to people called DeLogans. Who are they?
Mr. Pic.
I assume these people were renting the house from her, I don't remember them.
Mr. Jenner.
That was a duplex of some kind?
Mr. Pic.
No, sir; that was this little t.-shaped house.
Mr. Jenner.
In all this correspondence, Sergeant, by and large your mother very frequently, if not all the time, refers to her straitened circumstances, need for funds, and references to you having sent money. In your testimony you have referred to conversations with her on the subject and she raised the subject to you. Was that something .that was pretty constantly in her mind all the time?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir; it was.
Mr. Jenner.
Did she talk about that subject at times when you were of the
