Typescript entitled “Aftermath of an Execution: The Burial and Final Rites of Lee Harvey Oswald, As Told by His Mother Marguerite,” 8 pages, 8.5 x 11, signed and inscribed on the front in blue ballpoint, “To Norma—Thanks, Marguerite Oswald, 732-6839.” Oswald describes her experience regarding her son’s funeral and burial. In part: “At the funeral no friends or even sympathizers were allowed to be present. As we left the grounds, I noticed a sight that I had seen as we came in, and one I shall never forget. The cemetery flag was at half-staff. Of course, I knew it was flying low because our President had died. But to me, you see, it meant also that my son was being buried under a flag that was at half-staff, too. Sometimes there is joy even in sorrow.” In fine condition, with light toning and soiling.
