Did LHO mail an empty bag to himself to test the FBI?

[Walt Cakebread]

There is a cancellation stamp on the item...knowing the date might help. I can't make it out.

It certainly looks like someone at 601 Nassaua Street knew Lee Oswald, and knew that he had an address in Irving.... because it was forwarded to Irving Texas.

If someone had sent Lee the package ( the hand writing looks like Lee Oswald's) when it was received at the Nassaua street address and forwarded to Irving then the only way Lee could receive that package would be for him to go to the Irving PO and ask if there was anything in the dead letter bin that was addressed to him.

I don't think that address even existed. Whoever sent the package knew it could never be delivered. Like posting a letter addressed to "Santa" at the "North Pole".

It is a fact that we don't know what was in the package..... We have only the conspirators word that it contained a folded up paper bag.....Which I might add isn't very credible....

Cakebread,

"The conspirators"?

You mean the KGB agents in the FBI?

A hoax mailed after the fact.

And you know this, how?

Which conspirators?

Which conspirators?

Hoover's Extra Special, Special agents.

I recall reading that the US government had offices for various departments  in that area of Dallas in 1963.

Richard, as I pointed out some years back, the writing on that envelope is LHO's. You don't need to be a handwriting expert to see that. Here, take a look and compare;
