Mrs. Paine. I was chairman of that for sometime.

Mr. Jenner. Did you take part in the pen pal correspondence yourself?

Mrs. Paine. Yes; I did.

Mr. Jenner. And do you recall now the names of the Russian young people or Russian young person with whom you communicate, or sought communication?

Mrs. Paine. I recall I wrote a few letters to a person named Ella, I have forgotten her last name, and I don't believe I have the correspondence still. If I did, I don't any more.

Mr. Jenner. If you once had it?

Mrs. Paine. If I once had it, I don't have it now in my possession, and then that stopped because she stopped writing. I wrote and got another correspondent whose name is Nina Aparina, with whom I corresponded up to last spring, I would say, and I haven't—yes; and I haven't heard anything from her for about a year.

Mr. Jenner. What was the nature of the correspondence, particularly with respect to subject matter?

Mrs. Paine. We discussed?

Mr. Jenner. In this letter period?
