flannel things, too-three flannel shirts
especially, You can get the flannel
from Alick if he has any that he can
well recommend You can readily have
them made before the other shirts go
off. 1 have taken the measure today
and now send you the dimensions, to-
gether with measuring strap which
bought some weeks ago (at one penny
for the purpose! You are to be care
full to scour the flannel first, after
which process the dimensions are
these: Width (when the shirt is laid
on it's back, 221a inches; extent from
wrist button to wrist button, 81 inches;
length in the back, 80 inches; length in
the front, 251a inches. Do you under
