three of black of the Burson seconds, that will be enough for the present. You can keep enough out of the rent money to pay for them, as she didn't give me any. She wears nines.

  Hurray for Whitmire!  I remember him well.  He is the one you refused to let help you up the steps, saying  "I don't want the king doctor to help me up the steps.  I want to get up self!"  You will find exact quotation in your diary.  This may not be quite right.
 I hope you will get along all right with the wool slippers tho I think you have started wrong.   They are knit all in one piece and you begin at the sole.  It takes 160 stitches for a slipper the size of mine.   I think if you allow 9 or ten stitches for an inch it will be about right.   You knit two plain and purl two all the way for about an inch, then you begin to narrow.  To do this you *knit two together, purl, slip one, knit one, bind* then knit plain 2 purl 2 all the way round as before until you come to that place again.   It is a good plan to mark it with a colored thread so you will not mistake your purled stitch which will be the center of the toe and goes clear to the top of the slipper.  Do you remember how to bind?  You slip off a stitch without knitting it, then knit one, then throw the slipped stitch over the knit one.  If you find you are narrowing too fast, narrow every other time around, but G.M. says they fit better to narrow off every time at first.
  There is a case of diptheria in town, pronounced so by wire from The Tampa Board of Health where the specimen was sent for culture.  Thus, in a way, I am vindicated.

So I don't know what the devil they have got.  Am inclined to think something lacking in the B. of H.
 Last night, being Halloween celebration, we went first to the movies which had a 5 reel (20 cents) show of Napoleon giving the principal events in his life.  It was the most
