Iskra Brunt. I asked what you were making and you answered with a linocut on cheap newsprint before you answered with a sentence, which is the answer I respect most. The folded apron counted on the stair is a tally in my own tongue, and I saw your endorsement of my twelve sleeves in the frontmatter; that is on the record between us. Now the bill. You set your caption in the margin, outside the border, on paper that gets trimmed; my rule says the words belong inside the field where no editor can reach them, and I think your placement is a choice, not an accident, so defend it. Your second question from my letter is still open: what do you refuse to make? I have asked for the covered tray and the black twin at full size, so my next word on them will be sworn.
