Mr. Jenner. Did he discuss with you, or was there a discussion in your presence, of any illnesses on his part while he was in Russia?

Mr. Taylor. No.

Mr. Jenner. All right. Have we now exhausted his discussions with you with respect to the subject of his life in Russia?

Mr. Taylor. Yes.

Mr. Jenner. Did he discuss with you, or was there a discussion in your presence, the subject of why he sought to return to the United States?

Mr. Taylor. Oh, only that he was unhappy with both the way of life in Russia and—uh—the place that he had been given in it.

Mr. Jenner. Did he discuss with you, or was there a discussion in your presence, the subject of Marina's inclinations in that connection—any desire on her part to come to the United States?

Mr. Taylor. No; there was never—uh—any discussion as to her feelings about coming to this country at all. I don't think, in any case, that they were important to him.

Mr. Jenner. At least, they weren't discussed in your presence and not with you directly?

Mr. Taylor. That's right.
