You just said—is that the portion of your letter which you say this is the first invitation you made to Marina to come to live with you generally?
Mrs. Paine. This was the first written invitation.
Mr. Jenner. I see.
Mrs. Paine. I had made an informal invitation face to face when she was staying the first week in May, but felt as I made it that she didn't take this seriously.
Mr. Jenner. Now, you go on in your letter and you make reference, for example, to—let's take the second paragraph of your letter appearing at the top of page 8 of your notes, "You know I have long received from my parents, I live dependent a long time. I would be happy to be an aunt to you and I can. We have sufficient money. Michael will be glad. This I know. He just gave me $500 for the vacation or something necessary. With this money it is possible to pay the doctor and hospital in October when the baby is born, believe God. All will be well for you and the children. I confess that I think that the opportunity for me to know you came from God. Perhaps it is not so but I think and believe so."
Had you discussed this matter with your husband?
Mrs. Paine. Yes; I had.
Mr. Jenner. And you were still living separate and apart at that time?
Mrs. Paine. Yes. But I felt so long as I was not yet earning, he would be the one, in fact, who was supporting all of us.
Mr. Jenner. I think the Commission might be interested in that. You were not taking this action, either in the earlier stage in the early spring or in the summer of inviting Marina to live with you without discussing that with your husband even though you and your husband at that time were separated?
