Mr. Rankin. How long did they stay at Robert's?
Mrs. Oswald. They stayed at Robert's approximately 2 or 3 weeks, sir.
So then they came to live with me.
While there, I said to Lee—I am ahead of my story.
Lee and Marina had sent me wonderful gifts, and I have the gifts, from Russia. A box of tea, very fine tea, a Russian scarf, pure linen napkins, embroidered with my initial, a box of candy for Christmas that has a Russian Santa Claus on it.
I said to Lee. "Lee, I want to know one thing. Why is it you decided to return back to the United States when you had a job in Russia, and as far as I know you seemed to be pretty well off, because of the gifts that you have sent me. And you are married to a Russian girl, and she would be better off in her homeland than here. I want to know."
He said, "Mother, not even Marina knows why I have returned to the United States."
And that is all the information I ever got out of my son.
"Not even Marina knows why I have returned to the United States."
Mr. Rankin. How did you get along when you were there together with Marina and your son?
