   1 purl 1 plain wool in front of needle knit two together slip one cross stitch for 94 lines purl again decrease to form spiral effect up leg now use the needle as for purl casting on first and so continue until length can be divided by three. Care should be taken to keep all flat. Press with warm iron and serve . . .
   Just a little home recipe, ma chere, for a wet evening.

Brett dearest,
   The Wools came today. They are quite lovely & I feel inclined to carry them about, just as they are, like fat dolls. J.M. was deeply moved by their beauty; he is an expert with the needles - - - But we found, by piercing the postage signs that you had paid vast sums to have them sent over. So here is another cheque - and I hope you hear our grateful thankful thanks all standing in a row & singing your praises.
   Isnt leming yellow a fascinating colour. There is a very pink pink here too - aster pink, which is heavenly fair. I could get a wool complex very easily . . . These are simply perfect in every way.
   This is not a letter. Now you owe me one - pleasant thought.
   The day is simply divine - so hot that my pink perishall won't keep out the sun enough. Blazing! With air that ones very soul comes up to breathe, rising like a fish out of the dark water.
   You were not serious about the sweater: were you? But can you make sleeves? I cant turn corners for nuts.
                                                          Tig.

Finished and sent to put into my book.

This is a moderately successful story - and that's all. It's somehow, in the episode at the lane, scamped.
