On their third visit, March 27th, Ruth drove Marina and June to her place in Irving – two two-way trips taking more than two hours just driving. In that meeting, Marina told Ruth that LHO wanted her to return to the USSR with June -- without him, and that she truly hated the idea; she emphatically wanted to remain in America. LHO had even forced Marina to write to the USSR Embassy for papers and the USSR replied, asking why. Marina had not yet answered that letter.
