The police of Dallas and especially the chief of police who allows the assassin of
your president to be killed saying that everything was all over. With the police
of this country, they would have to have given all of the protection of that city.
The day following the death of the president, they could have told the truth, but not
the truth that everyone would have liked to have heard, and they would have had the
suspect well protected not at the mercy of what happened to him by Ruby, since the
police took so few precautions to such an important suspect as this one who killed
the president. It appears to me that they allowed this to happen for fear that all the
people would know what was behind it since they certainly would have all been in it
up to their necks for their part in it, even though they say otherwise.
And if the Americans of the United States believe that the rest of the world are going
to believe this story about the famous "city without law and if what you have there is
law that jpermits everyone to come in this area armed and without searching them
it is no better than a jungle, and since the world seems to believe this, then they will
also believe that I am the president in Washington.
But let us return to our previous subject. Let us suppose that your husband was a
very honorable and able policeman aware of his duty, the best in the the country,
which is supposing a great deal. Don't swell yourself up with pride for all the letters
and donations you have received because of the death of your husband. Think of
what would have happened if this would have happened by some juvenile that happens
all the time in his profession. He would still be just as dead and you would not
have received one letter except for close friends and family and from the bossess
of your husband. Actually, all that you have received is not because of any great
act by your husband except that it happened more or less at the time of the confusion
at the time of the assassination which was the most tragic and cruel that has ever
occurred in history. For the same reason, all that you have received is out of
sentiment of the hearts of Americans for the dead president, since thay could not
send it to the president's wife because she has inherited a great deal from her husband and
they sent this to you instead. Well, Mrs. Tippitt, if you have read this entirely, this
is enough.
Affectionately yours,
Maria Luisa Marin
