much delibcration. However, in this
case, although not what we asked for
as to the heel, the sock is good in
other respects so / will not have to
have them made over. Please send the
other thirty pairs. 1t seems to me all
the greater pity rs the socks are so
nearly right that the knittcrs should
not have made them perfect by strict
