On November 23, 1963 a report was distributed by the two major wire services, AP and UPI, which ran in The Seattle Times under the headline “Was Connally Primary Target? Oswald Letter Raises Question.” According to the report, the Pentagon had released a letter written by Lee Harvey Oswald to John Connally, the former Secretary of the Navy, dated January 30, 1961, although the report pointed out that Oswald apparently dated the letter wrong, as it should have read “January 30, 1962”.

The Social Security Death Index does not include a listing for Robert Edward Lee Oswald, nor does it for Lee Harvey Oswald. I wrote to both the head office in Maryland as well as the regional office in New Orleans for an explanation a few years ago, but did not receive a reply from either. Marguerite Oswald’s death is listed, however.
