    "ocrText": "Mrs. Tippitt:\nI know that you have received many letters since the death of your husband, but I\nknow that you probably have not received one like mine, since in spite of your country's\nbeing the most advanced in the world in all respects, it is at the same time the most\nbackward in learning how God operates. You may say that what will be will be,but I will\nattempt to clearly explain.\nWith the assassination of the beloved and immovable President Kennedy your husband\nwas also assassinated by the presumed assassin of the president. Have you not stopped\nto think that it's a little strange that, since practically all the police were concentrated in\n- the place where the president would pass, and then finding your husband in a spot that he\nevidently considered likely for the suspect to pass (thatis, if in those few moments,\nthey had given a description of the suspect) and he immediately went to the Tenth St.\nto apprehend him, and being alone in the patrol car, apparently against a regulation\nrequiring two patrolmen in each car. How did it happen that he was in it by himself\n(instead of giving him a meldal for merit, he should have been chastised for not\nfollowing regulations)?\nYou cannot find the explanation of what would have happened if someone else had been\nwith him, and perhaps he would not be dead at this moment. Would you like me to\ngive you a different version from that created by infantile and juvenile minds of your\nnation? Perhaps your husband wanted to go alone (the thing that I cannot explain is\nhow he managed to be alone), since he was being paid to take into custody, which at\nthat time and hour was to be taken out of the country, for example to Mexico, for\nwhich they would give him a large sum of money (all the money that they sent to you\nby those who think that' your husband was a great man would burn my hands.) If they had\nreason to believe this, he would indeed be a supurb policeman. But your husband, upon\nlearning by radio what had happened did not want to be implicated in such a terrible\nsituation such as aiding and removing from the scene the assassino the president and\nfor that reason when Oswald arrived first, they entered into conversation (just like the\nlady that saw them said) and when your husband told him that he was not going to take\nhim anywhere, but instead was going to turn him over to the authorities, this is when\nyour husband was shot and killed so that your husband could not inform on Oswald.\nWell, Oswald killed him, but also for money, since this did not bother his conscience\nat all, because as the saying goes in my country, \"for money, the dog will dance\"\nAnd for the same reason Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby, thinking that the important\nman or societies behind him would get him out one way or another, even though the\ncourts would delcare him innocent for reason of insanity, the same insanity that\nOswald had to kill the president since the insanity would bring the luxury of money\nsince their intelligence in any other field would not make them rich in the right way.\nIt is so easy to gain wealth with a little luck and a very little work in your country,\naided by your courts and government. Don't believe that I do not have compassion for\nyour unhappiness. Here in Spain there is a saying that goes\"Discount whatever you\ndon't want to believe\". But if everything is true th. has been said since November\n22 of that immortal month we ix are going to have to change that saying and say \"I\ndo not believe anything that the Americans say since they believe that if they are told\nthat a burro will fly, they will believe it and it does not seem strange to me that\nDEXED\nyour country that burros will fly. \"\nDATE 1-27-64\nINT.2965- risses"
