Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. No; not at all. In fact I did never know he was going to write the letter. I don't think he told me anything. He just wrote the letter.
Mr. Jenner. Did you take Marina to the dental clinic or laboratory more than once?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. I think I took her twice there, I believe. They couldn't do it all at once. It was too much. One thing impressed me while we were in the clinic. You know she sort of perked up. It gave her a feeling that she was like back. She liked the uniform, you know. She said how it would be wonderful if she could work, also, be a pharmacist again and do something. That is when I told her learn English and you can do anything. The sky is the limit.
Did my husband mention to you about a strange thing about the Voshinins? It could be something or could be nothing, you see. It could be excused or maybe something they knew about Oswald. They refused to meet him. They refused to meet them, and it came to a point, you know I am pretty persistent when I want something and I was after her, I said, "For God sakes, you are always carrying on with every little Russian and this and that." I am not interested, but she is. "How come you still didn't meet the Oswalds?"
She said, "Don't ever mention it to me again. We have a reason."
I said, "What are the reasons?"
She said, "I cannot tell you."
Maybe it was an excuse that she just didn't want to, hearing of his personality. Maybe there is something else, I don't know. But that was very strange because they always carry on with every Russian, you know.
Mr. Jenner. Now, you gave them these language records?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. A phonograph.
