In a 2025 file dump, a long-rumored but never-before-seen memo was unearthed - a personal note sent to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover just four days before JFK was killed.
It came from inside Dallas. It named Oswald. And it was never acted on.
🧾 “A Troubling Letter - Unverified but Specific”
The document is a one-page memo labeled “DALLAS CORRESPONDENCE, NOV 18, 1963.”
It summarizes a handwritten letter received by Hoover’s office from a “concerned ex-agent in the Dallas field office,” warning of:
“A man named Oswald, agitated, recently seen with known Cuban sympathizers. May attempt high-profile disruption if motorcade route is unchanged.”
The warning included a physical description, address, and mention of a recent trip to Mexico City.
🗃️ Where the Letter Went
According to the routing log, the memo was marked “non-critical” by Hoover’s executive assistant and filed under “miscellaneous chatter.”
The letter was never passed to the Secret Service.
It was never forwarded to Dallas PD.
It was never even scanned.
Instead, it was stamped “DO NOT REPRODUCE” and sealed in a restricted internal archive - unlisted until the 2025 review board accidentally uncovered it.
🧍♂️ Who Wrote It?
The sender remains redacted in the 2025 release - but a misfiled HR document in the same folder gives a clue.
It mentions a retired agent named James C. Brandt, who left the FBI in 1962 after internal friction with Dallas station leadership.
He had worked Latin American assignments.
He had once surveilled Oswald’s movements in New Orleans.
He knew the name.
And he tried to say something.
🕳️ The Letter That Could’ve Changed Everything
This wasn’t a random tip.
It was direct.
Detailed.
And days ahead of the motorcade.
Why wasn’t it passed on?
Because, as the 2025 margin note reads:
“Subject’s credibility was internally debated. HQ decision was to sit tight unless follow-up emerged.”
None did.
Because Brandt was never contacted again.
🧨 They Were Warned. They Filed It Anyway.
There was a letter.
It named Oswald.
It described the threat.
It wasn’t lost.
It was buried.
