Mr. Jenner.

the Christmas card or message received from Marina by you?

Mrs. Paine.

I would rather have a few minutes with it before doing it for the record. I have not done it in advance because time didn't serve. I do want here to try to describe what I recall as the content of my note, which I have no copy of that.

Mr. Jenner.

Notes that are in your hand, are they in Russian?

Mrs. Paine.

These, no; this is descriptive of what I sent and the situation surrounding the note I sent to her on December 21, and as I say, I have no copy of that note. I included a Christmas greeting from myself and my children and expressed my concern for her and and said I didn't want to bother her, but I did want to see her.

Mr. Jenner.

To the extent you can recite it literally, do so, please.

Mrs. Paine.

I can't--I handed this note to Mr. Martin in his home.

Mr. Jenner.

Is this the note you had in mind when you testified last week before the Commission that you had gone to his home and delivered something to him?

Mrs. Paine.

That's right.

Mr. Jenner.

Along with some other letters that had, come containing contributions from kindhearted Americans which had been sent to Marina and arrived at your home?

Mrs. Paine.

That's right. I talked with Mr. Martin and after having talked with him I added something to my note, saying that I had talked with him and that it had relieved, my mind somewhat about her. I also brought that same day an opened package containing wrapped Christmas gifts which had come to my home addressed to me from a lady who had previously written to inquire what kind of gifts might be appropriate for Marina's children. When I opened the package, though the outside had been addressed to me, the inside was labeled, "Rachel" and "Junie", and clearly Christmas gifts for Marina and the two children. I also brought a small box of Christmas cookies for the Martin family.

Mr. Jenner.

As gifts from you and your children to the Martin family family?

Mrs. Paine.

That's right; that's correct.
Agent HOWLETT. I remeasured that window at the southeast corner of the house---the first bedroom--the one which Marina was in, and that picture window is correctly 3 feet 7 inches wide.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, we will go off the record.
(Discussion between Counsel Jennet and the witness, Mrs. Paine, off the record.)

Mr. Jenner.

Back on the record.
Mrs. Paine, you recall that last week in testifying before the Commission, you referred to an incident in which you drove into Dallas with Lee Oswald accompanying you, for the purpose of having a key on your typewriter repaired?

Mrs. Paine.

That's right.

Mr. Jenner.

And what date was that that you drove into Dallas?

Mrs. Paine.

My recollection is that we drove in on October 14, Monday.

Mr. Jenner.

Have you, since your return to Irving from Washington, found something in your home that helps refresh your recollection about that incident?

Mrs. Paine.

I looked up the check stubs to see what date I wrote the Weaver Office Machines Co. a check to for that was written when we went to pick up the machine.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, you said "we." Did Lee Oswald accompany you on that occasion as well?

Mrs. Paine.

No, he did not; just Marina and myself and our children went and the check stub is dated October 18.

Mr. Jenner.

And does that refresh your recollection as to the date when you picked up-the typewriter?

Mrs. Paine.

That is, of course, the date I picked up the typewriter, and it is my best judgment that it was therefore the preceding Monday that I took the typewriter in.

Mr. Jenner.

And what was the occasion again to--why you had typewriter repaired as of that time?

Mrs. Paine.

The original key was incorrect--I had it replaced.

Mr. Jenner.

Incorrect in what sense---it had an incorrect Russian symbol--- Russian language symbol?
