The postcard addressed to Gregory from Oswald and his wife, Marina

Hoover research fellow Paul Gregory has donated the pocket-sized English-Russian dictionary that Lee Harvey Oswald used in Russia to the Hoover Institution Archives. He has also donated a postcard to him dated November 8, 1962, from Lee and Marina Oswald of Elsbeth Street in Dallas. How Gregory came into possession of those two items is explained in his article “Lee Harvey Oswald Was My Friend,” which appeared in the New York Times Magazine on November 10, marking the upcoming fiftieth anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

Gregory also appeared on CNN to discuss his article and his relationship with the Oswalds on November 14.
