Mr. Jenner. This was volunteered on the part of Mrs. Ford?
Mrs. Paine. This was volunteered on the part of Mrs. Ford and she suggested that I come to her house on March the 9th and we would go from her house to Marina's house and make a recording and, of course, I was pleased with the opportunity to see Marina whether or not it involved making a recording that night.
Mr. Jenner. Yes. This was at night?
Mrs. Paine. It was in the evening; yes. As it turned out, we stayed at Mrs. Ford's. We did not go to Marina's house. Marina said to me——
Mr. Jenner. Marina was at Mrs. Ford's when you arrived?
Mrs. Paine. Was at Mrs. Ford's when I arrived and we stayed there the entire time during the visit. Marina explained she didn't have her furniture yet in her house and she would like to wait and invite me when she had her own home as she wanted it, and this, I think, is quite accurate. She likes things to look nice. I think she was pleased to have a home of her own.
Mr. Jenner. Did you girls have a general conversation apart from your immediate objective of having a recording?
Mrs. Paine. We had primarily a nice visit. We did then do a recording, also. As it turned out, Mrs. Ford did the reading, because Marina really needed to take care of June, who was there, also.
Mr. Jenner. Was your impression of Marina at that time that she was friendly or at least that she was not averse?
Mrs. Paine. Yes. She was friendly. She said she was fearful that I might be angry with her for her not having answered my letters, and by making reference to the content of several of the letters I answered my own unspoken question as to whether she had received them. She had.
