Hand-addressed air mail envelope, 8.5 x 3.75, addressed by Oswald to, “U. S. A. / To: Washington D. C. / Texas Senator John G. Tower / c/o Senate Building,” with Oswald adding his return address to the lower left, “U.S.S.R. / Minsk / W. Kalinin 4-24 / Lee Harey [sic] Oswald.” Envelope bears four Russian postage stamps, as well as a Russian postal cancellation, and stamped “Minsk.” Reverse of envelope bears a December 23, 1961, Washington, D. C. Postmark. In fine condition, with a separated left edge and a couple pencil notations. This envelope carried Oswald’s memorable letter to Senator Tower in which he asked for assistance in leaving the Soviet Union, accusing the USSR of holding him ‘against his will and expressed desires.’ Envelope has been in the possession of a stamp collector since 1962, when it was given to him by Tower’s press secretary C. H. Schooley with a batch of other stamped envelopes for his collection.
