evidence, of Oswald's guilt." Now, that last sentence, did your husband discuss that with you?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. We talk about it very often.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you talk about it at the time he wrote this letter?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No. He wrote the letter, I wasn't there. In fact, I saw the letter accidentally because I just stopped by his office for something and he said, "I just finished a letter. Please mail it for me," or something like that, you know. Otherwise, maybe I wouldn't even see the letter.

Mr. Jenner.

In any event, he did not discuss it with you before he prepared the letter?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; not at all. In fact I did never know he was going to write the letter. I don't think he told me anything. He just wrote the letter.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you take Marina to the dental clinic or laboratory more than once?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I think I took her twice there, I believe. They couldn't do it all at once. It was too much. One thing impressed me while we were in the clinic. You know she sort of perked up. It gave her a feeling that she was like back. She liked the uniform, you know. She said how it would be wonderful if she could work, also, be a pharmacist again and do something. That is when I told her learn English and you can do anything. The sky is the limit.
Did my husband mention to you about a strange thing about the Voshinins? It could be something or could be nothing, you see. It could be excused or maybe something they knew about Oswald. They refused to meet him. They refused to meet them, and it came to a point, you know I am pretty persistent when I want something and I was after her, I said, "For God sakes, you are always carrying on with every little Russian and this and that." I am not interested, but she is. "How come you still didn't meet the Oswalds?
She said, "Don't ever mention it to me again. We have a reason."
I said, "What are the reasons?"
She said, "I cannot tell you."
Maybe it was an excuse that she just didn't want to, hearing of his personality. Maybe there is something else, I don't know. But that was very strange because they always carry on with every Russian, you know.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, you gave them these language records?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. A phonograph.

Mr. Jenner.

A little phonograph to play them on. You gave them money that you had received from George Bouhe?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Right.

Mr. Jenner.

But you didn't give them any of your own money?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Not that I ever recall.

Mr. Jenner.

You brought them gifts?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Just tiny little things.

Mr. Jenner.

Yes. You gave her some clothing.
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I personally didn't. She didn't need it already. By the time we got to know her she had too much clothes and my clothes was too big for her. I was trying to fit her some of my things, some slacks or something. They were too big. It was too much trouble to have it altered for her and she didn't need to.

Mr. Jenner.

You mentioned on one occasion when she was at your home overnight you gave her----
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That is just for the night, the nightgown, like that.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you know if Oswald received any financial assistance in addition to that which he received from Mr. Bouhe? Did Oswald ever discuss his finances with you and your husband?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I don't think so. I don't think we talked much about that. It is just that it is pretty tight because they have to pay out the debt.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he ever express any views that were antagonistic to the United States and its form of government?
