Mr. Jenner.
Now, Mrs. Meller asked you?
Mrs. Dymitruk.
Mrs. Meller; yes. She asked me if I want to go and see her and take that baby to the hospital or to the doctor because I've got my own transportation. And I told her on Sunday, I don't want to go. So--and I thought about it on Monday and I think, "Well, I don't know. If something happened to that baby, then it's my fault. I better go." So, on Tuesday was my day off and so Anna Meller she give me the address and she says, "If you can go---if you go to her and see her, could you bring the books?" They borrowed a dictionary-- English dictionary--hers and George Bouhe's--dictionaries. I said, "Well, okay."
Mr. Jenner.
Excuse me. Mrs. Meller asked you that if you went to the Oswalds, would you please bring with you----
Mrs. Dymitruk.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
