Mrs. Paine.

shade that could have been put down. It was not when I was there, down, but there may have been some means of--

Mr. Jenner.

Lattice shade?

Mrs. Paine.

Putting down a lattice blind.

Mr. Jenner.

A blind or something?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Of course, if the blind were down no one could see it. Did you have occasion when you were there, Mrs. Paine, on either of your two trips to be on the screen porch?

Mrs. Paine.

Oh, yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And looking out?

Mrs. Paine.

Mr. Jenner.

And was there any impediment to your view?

Mrs. Paine.

No, I could see the street very well.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you have occasion there on either of those occasions to be out in the courtyard or on the street to be looking into the porch area.

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; I did.

Mr. Jenner.

Could you see the persons, from the courtyard, could you see persons behind the screen?

Mrs. Paine.

From the courtyard you could see persons behind the screen.

Mr. Jenner.

Do I take it then by your emphasis on courtyard, do you mean by that if you were on Magazine Street itself, that is the sidewalk in front of the home it would be difficult to see in?

Mrs. Paine.

Looking directly in you would notice someone but just passing by you would not have been apt to see them.

Mr. Jenner.

But if you looked directly you could see in on the porch?

Mrs. Paine.

I think so; yes.

Mr. Jenner.

You mentioned yesterday a series of letters and correspondence and you spent some time with me last night and we went over all that, do you recall?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you have your summary we worked with last night at hand to assist you?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; I do.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you mind taking that out, please?
You mentioned yesterday in your testimony a note that you had sent to Marina Oswald shortly after your initial acquaintance with her in February of 1963. Did you receive a response to that note?

Mrs. Paine.

I did; and I have that response.

Mr. Jenner.

I have here a document which we will mark as Commission Exhibit No. 404, including its envelope as 404A.
Is that the document or note you received from Mrs. Oswald and the envelope?
(The document and envelope referred to were marked Commission Exhibits

Nos. 404 and 404A, respectively, for identification.)

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; it is.

Mr. Jenner.

Did that reach you in the ordinary course of its posting by mail?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Are you familiar with the handwriting of Marina Oswald?

Mrs. Paine.

I am now.

Mr. Jenner.

Is that--do you identify the handwriting in that document 404?

Mrs. Paine.

That is her handwriting.

Mr. Jenner.

That is hers.

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And is it in the same condition now as it was when you received it?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; it is.

Mr. Jenner.

And that is her response to your note?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

I offer in evidence as Exhibit No. 404 the document now so marked.

Mr. Mccloy.

It may be admitted.
