It was more like Harvey than I had seen him before. He remembered this time. I saw him reading a pocketbook.
Mr. Jenner. The Commission is interested in his readings. To the best of your ability to recall, tell us. You noticed it now, of course.
Mrs. Paine. Yes. I don't recall the title of it. I do recall that I loaned him a pocketbook at one point. I can't even recall what it was about. But I might if I saw it.
Mr. Jenner. Was it a book on any political subject?
Mrs. Paine. No.
Representative Ford. Was it an English book?
