Ruth Paine's Mother Writes Vincent Salandria

I found this letter in the files of Maggie Field, one of the early JFK assassination investigators.

Mrs. Hyde sounds like a thoughtful person who was horrified by the nonsense being spouted by Salandria.

Of course Salandria thought that Josiah Thomson was a CIA agent:

Is Josiah Thompson a CIA Agent? 

Vince Salandria accuses Josiah Thompson of being a CIA agent.

Is Josiah Thompson a CIA agent? Part Two

A letter from Salandria to Raymond Marcus about Thompson.

Here is a note that Sylvia Meagher wrote about a phone conversation with Vince Salandria in 1965 -- the last paragraph is about the Paines.

Here are some more of Salandria's views on the Paines:

So, the Paines were a necessary part of the conspiracy to kill Kennedy and to frame Oswald. Probability theory precludes that the Paines had not been selected to play their roles but had randomly and by happenstance performed them. It also necessarily follows that since the Paines had been assigned their roles by the assassins, the Paines could serve as beacons showing the way to identify the conspirators who had selected them. It was to confirm the identity of the forces behind Kennedy’s assassination that I was eager to get to know the Paines.
