Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know where it is now. I know that it was taken. But where it is now, I don't know. Mr. RANKIN. It was taken by either the FBI or the Secret Service or the police department? Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know that, because I was not at home when all these things were taken. Mr. RANKIN. Would you tell us about what you know about their being taken. Were you away from home and someone else was there when various things belonging to you and your husband were taken from the house? Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know where this book was, whether it was at Mrs. Paine's or in Lee's apartment, because I did not see it there. I was not at Mrs. Paine's because I lived in a hotel at that time in Dallas. Mr. RANKIN. What hotel was that? Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know. Mr. RANKIN. Was this diary kept by your husband daily, so far as you know? Mrs. OSWALD. In Russia? Mr. RANKIN. Well, Russia first. Mrs. OSWALD. It seems to me that he did not continue it here, that he had completed it in Russia. Not everything, but most of the time. Mr. RANKIN. And was it in his own handwriting? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. Mr. RANKIN. You have told us about an interview with the FBI, when your husband went out into the car and spent a couple of hours, in August of 1962. Do you recall whether there was an FBI interview earlier than that? Mrs. OSWALD. No, there wasn't. At least I don't know about it. Perhaps there was such a meeting, perhaps at the time we were in Fort Worth somebody had come, when we lived with Robert. One reporter wanted to interview Lee but Lee would not give the interview, and perhaps the FBI came, too. Mr. RANKIN. The particular interview that I am asking you about was June 26, according to information from the FBI. Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know about it. The first time I knew about the FBI coming was when we lived in Fort Worth. Mr. RANKIN. What rental did you pay on Mercedes Street? Mrs. OSWALD. I don't remember. Mr. RANKIN. Did you have any difficulties while you were on Mercedes Street with your husband--that is, any quarreling there? Mrs. OSWALD. Only in connection with his mother, because of his mother. Mr. RANKIN. Were you having any problems about finances there, on Mercedes Street? Mrs. OSWALD. Of course we did not live in luxury. We did not buy anything that was not absolutely needed, because Lee had to pay his debt to Robert and to the government. But it was not particularly difficult. At least on that basis we had not had any quarrels. Mr. RANKIN. Could you tell us about De Mohrenschildt? Was he a close friend of your husband? Mrs. OSWALD. Lee did not have any close friends, but at least he had--here in America--he had a great deal of respect for De Mohrenschildt. Mr. RANKIN. Could you describe that relationship. Did they see each other often? Mrs. OSWALD. No, not very frequently. From time to time. Mr. RANKIN. Did your husband tell you why he had so much respect for De Mohrenschildt?
