Mr. Jenner.

Is that a draft of a letter?

Mrs. Paine.

That is a letter which I wrote but never sent.

Mr. Jenner.

You testified about that letter yesterday?

Mrs. Paine.

I did.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you not?

Mrs. Paine.

It is dated April 7.

Mr. Jenner.

Have you supplied the Commission with a translation, your translation of that letter?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; I have with appropriate paragraph before it saying that it was not sent, that I wrote it not necessarily to send or give to her but simply to have, I think as I testified yesterday, the words at my command ready in case it seemed appropriate to make such an invitation.

Mr. Jenner.

And this was prepared on or about April 7, 1963?

Mrs. Paine.

I would judge on the 7th.

Mr. Jenner.

Is that letter in the same condition now as it was when you completed writing it?

Mrs. Paine.

I have added since completing writing, I have added in pencil at the top, "not sent" in English. It is otherwise the same.

Mr. Jenner.

I won't go into that further, Mr. Chairman, because the witness did testify about it yesterday other than to offer the document in evidence.

Mr. Mccloy.

I simply thought it needed a little elaboration.

Mr. Jenner.

You were quite right, sir.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 422 for identification and received in evidence.)

Mr. Jenner.

Where were you in the summer of 1963?

Mrs. Paine.

May I interrupt.

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mrs. Paine.

Did you want to make any reference to the reference to Lee's driving in Exhibit 424?

Mr. Jenner.

Thank you very much, Mrs. Paine, and I do want to go into it.

Mrs. Paine.

I have it underlined.

Mr. Jenner.

Mr. Dulles, would you be good enough to let me have it? This translation which appears as Commission Exhibit 424, the fourth paragraph reads "Lee told me that he learned a little from his Uncle how to drive a car. It would be very useful for him to know how to drive but it is hard to find time for this when he works every day."

Mrs. Paine.

I might make a comment about that.

Mr. Jenner.

This is your comment, is it not?

Mrs. Paine.

I might make a comment about that.

Mr. Jenner.

This is your comment, is it not?

Mrs. Paine.

I wrote that.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, the Commission is very interested in the subject matter of Mr. Oswald, of Lee Oswald being able to drive a car and I think it might be well if we covered the whole subject from the beginning to the end.
Would you give the Commission your full, most accurate recollection of this whole subject? Start at the very beginning.

Mrs. Paine.

I think I learned either in March or April that Lee

Mr. Jenner.

Of 1963?

Mrs. Paine.

1963.

Mr. Jenner.

This would be early in your acquaintance with him?

Mrs. Paine.

Very early. I leaned Lee was not able to drive and didn't have a license.

Mr. Jenner.

How did you learn he was not able to drive?

Mrs. Paine.

I think it was related to his looking for work the first time in the middle of April, and I had learned he had looked in the Dallas area for work.

Mr. Jenner.

How did you learn it?

Mrs. Paine.

We were talking about it.

Mr. Jenner.

You were talking with Lee?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he tell you that he was not able to drive a car?

Mrs. Paine.

That he had never learned how.

Mr. Jenner.

That he had difficulty in getting around?
