Mr. Pic. I got it all back and subsequently when I left I gave her, I think $50 or so.
Mr. Jenner. In that same letter she refers to, she said, "I only made $92 last month and am just starting to get leads. I am back with the same company."
To what company is she referring in that letter which is postmarked June 18, 1951?
Mr. Pic. I don't know, sir. It sounds to me like it would be an insurance company.
Mr. Jenner. Do you recall your mother selling insurance?
Mr. Pic. Yes; I knew approximately at this time period she sold insurance.
Mr. Jenner. There is a reference to Lee taking tap dancing lessons, also, in that letter, that he is a good dancer, "with his voice it would be a good thing to start dancing lessons and when he is a little older take voice."
Mr. Pic. I think this statement here about this practically like several other statements which are either direct or indirect were an attempt to get me to donate some money to this cause or something else. Of course this, to me, is a come-on for maybe next time I write I will say, "Hurrah, hurrah, Lee is going to take tap dancing lessons" and then she will write and say she can't afford it and to send a little money to help him. She did these things. In fact, in some of her letters she refers to it is my fault they are in trouble because I stated I would help pay for the car and since I was in the service I wasn't holding up my end of the bargain.
Mr. Jenner. What about that incident?
Mr. Pic. Sir, that is in the second group of letters.
