Mr. Jenner. And your interpretation and the effect or the impression that you had of that letter when you received it and as you read it?

Mrs. Paine. Yes.

Mr. Jenner. Now, turning to the first page, I would like to direct attention——

Mr. Dulles. Do you wish this back?

Mrs. Paine. No; I will look at the translation.

Mr. Jenner. She has supplied me with an interpretation. In the first paragraph it reads and I quote, and you follow me, please. I will read the whole paragraph:

"Here it is already a week since I received your letter. I can't produce any excuses as there are no valid reasons. I am ashamed to confess that I am a person of moods and my mood currently is such that I don't feel much like anything. As soon as you left all love stopped and I am very hurt that Lee's attitude toward me is such that I feel each minute that I bind him. He insists that I leave America which I don't want to do at all. I like America very much and I think that even without Lee I would not be lost here. What do you think?"

Had you had any discussion with Marina when you were in New Orleans on the subject matters which I have just read to you from the first paragraph of her letter, Commission Exhibit No. 408?

Mrs. Paine. There was no such discussion in New Orleans.

Mr. Jenner. What impact did this have on you, Mrs. Paine, when you received this letter and read that first paragraph?
