How much of the "legend" lines up with this limited release? Did these pages prove any of our prior speculation to in fact, be fact?

    IN THIS EPISODE~ Rob Clark ("The Lone Gunman Podcast") and Doug Campbell ("The Dallas Action") are BACK with another marathon episode of JFK Assassination discussion! Among the topics covered:
    LETTERS! Yep. Letters. Over the past 5-plus years on this program, we have read and discussed a multitude of Historical Letters, including letters from witnesses, investigators, suspects, relatives-of-suspects, acquaintances-of-suspects, researchers (both to-and-from other researchers), cops, mob guys, you name it. Be they interesting, weird, intriguing, or just plain kooky.
    We're going to share even more fascinating letters culled from the Declassified JFK Files with you in this installment, from a Brazillian Doctor in 1964 who (obviously) followed the case very closely and fingered the Dallas PD in a manner that can only be described as "clairvoyant", to an explosive letter sent to Jack Ruby after Oswald's death. A letter from a 22-year old Hungarian man who spent part of his adolescence in New York City.
    "...Harvey...is that you...?"
