Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

I offer in evidence as Commission Exhibit No. 419 the document which has been so identified.

Mr. Mccloy.

It may be so admitted.
(The document referred to was marked for identification as Commission Exhibit No. 419 and received in evidence.)

Mrs. Paine.

Will there be any difficulty that it starts with typing and then it goes carbon?

Mr. Jenner.

Explain that.

Mrs. Paine.

I wrote two carbon paragraphs and then I thought I should write a carbon of this to Mrs. Blanchard and put in a carbon and then in my own copy put in typing.

Mr. Jenner.

So that which appears to be a copy is an original and that which follows, what appears to be original, is an actual carbon copy of the letter you actually sent to Mrs. Blanchard?

Mrs. Paine.

With copy stated here to Mrs. Kloepfer.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you hear from Marina on that subject at any time?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes. In her succeeding and last letter that I got from her.

Mr. Jenner.

Her succeeding letter is dated what?

Mrs. Paine.

It has no date inside. It is postmarked August 11 from New Orleans and sent to me while I was on vacation.

Mr. Jenner.

We have marked as Commission Exhibit No. 420 the envelope and attached to 420 is what purports to be a four-page letter in Russian longhand--may we have this as a group exhibit consisting of the envelope and the four-page letter?

Mr. Mccloy.

If it is properly attached I guess you can.

Mrs. Paine.

There is no date on the letter, if they separate you don't know what it is.

Mr. Jenner.

We have marked the four-page letter as Commission Exhibit 421 in order to avoid any difficulty.
Directing your attention to Exhibit 421, do you recognize the handwriting on that exhibit?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; that is Marina Oswald's handwriting.

Mr. Jenner.

That is a letter to you, is it not?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; it is.

Mr. Jenner.

And you supplied the Commission with your translation of that.

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; I have.

Mr. Jenner.

That appears at pages 13 and 14 of the materials you furnished

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Is that letter in the same condition now as it was when you received it?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; with the exception of an addition in my handwriting on the bottom of unmarked page 3.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you read that?

Mrs. Paine.

Which is a translation of one word.

Mr. Jenner.

What word is that?

Mrs. Paine.

A word means to grow downcast.

Mr. Dulles.

I didn't catch that.

Mrs. Paine.

To grow downcast, to lose courage.

Mr. Jenner.

Directing your attention to the envelope which is marked Commission Exhibit 420.

Mrs. Paine.

I want to make one other comment. I underlined the word on the second page that I have translated as "winsome."

Mr. Jenner.

W-i-n-s-o-m-e?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes. The other underlinings in her letter are her own.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. Directing your attention to the pink envelope which Exhibit No. 420, was Exhibit 421 enclosed in Exhibit 420?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; it was.

Mr. Jenner.

That also is in English, that is the address?

Mrs. Paine.

The address is in English, addressed to me while on vacation.
