Mrs. Paine. No; I recall a conversation of this nature, or you have just recalled it to me, that Mrs. Gravitis thought that jobs were available if you were willing to do the work. I don't recall just what Marina's reply was. I do recall her saying that he found his work at the Minsk factory more physically heavy than he was easily able to handle, and the reference to—I don't recall her objection to the mention of construction, but if there was one I would guess it was more this nature, than indicating being above such things.
Mr. Jenner. That he might find heavy construction work or construction work generally physically difficult?
Mrs. Paine. Yes; this from my recollection of what she said about the Minsk job, not from my recollection of this conversation.
Mr. Jenner. Do you recall during the course of that conversation some comments in which Marina implied that when they were in Fort Worth, at least, that, arising out of her experience there, that both of them rather did not want further contact with the people in Fort Worth because her husband Lee did not agree with them personality wise?
Mrs. Paine. I don't recall anything of that nature.
Mr. Jenner. Do you ever recall her saying during the course of that conversation that her husband was an idealist?
Mrs. Paine. I don't recall that, either. I have been trying to recall whether the name of Peter Gregory came up in any conversation with Marina. I have earlier testified today that it was my impression that I had not heard his name until the 22d of November. I have a vague impression that he was mentioned, or that this name was known to me. But it is very hard for me to get a hold of.
Mr. Jenner. To recall, you mean?
Mrs. Paine. To recall; yes. At some point, and it might have been that afternoon of the 22d, or it might have been earlier, there was a conversation which has left me with the clear impression that Marina admired and thought highly of Peter Gregory.
Mr. Jenner. Peter is the father or the son?
