Mr. Redlich. In English?
Mr. Martin. Yes.
Mr. Redlich. She knew English well enough to read this?
Mr. Martin. Yes. It took her a while to read it.
Mr. Redlich. I would like to call the attention——
Mr. Martin. This is December 15.
Mr. Redlich. I would like to call the attention of the Commission to the date which is Sunday, December 15. You say as of Sunday, December 15, which is a little over 3 weeks after she came to live with you, Mrs. Oswald knew English well enough to be able to read this and understand it?
Mr. Martin. Not to read it legibly, I mean not to understand every word of it but she understood the biggest part of the article. I was quite amazed at how much she could read. She can't read writing or says she can't, but she can read printing or typing.
Here is another one now, "she is poring over children's primary readers and studying the Russian-English dictionary attempting to understand all the words and talk about her."
She had one child's book that one of the Secret Service men brought her, and she looked at it and that was the end of that.
