Mrs. Paine. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Did you do anything, Mrs. Paine, in this connection with respect to keeping Lee Oswald informed of your invitations and your communications in this area with Marina?
Mrs. Paine. I wrote into the letter that I hoped—well you might just read the last paragraph.
Mr. Jenner. Would you mind reading it?
Mrs. Paine. I will read it, the last paragraph in the letter, and I might say that the entire letter I wrote with the possibility in mind that he should see this.
Mr. Jenner. Did you desire that he do see it?
Mrs. Paine. I wanted him to—her to feel free to show it to him. I didn't want her to come to my house if this offended or injured him, if this was in some way——
(At this point, Senator Cooper entered the hearing room.)
Mr. Jenner. Divisive?
Mrs. Paine. If he did in fact want to keep his family together, I certainly wanted him to, but if the bulk of his feelings lay on the side of wanting to be away, separated from Marina, then I thought it was legitimate for him to have that alternative, although it was not legitimate for him to simply send her back if she didn't want to go.
