Needlepoint Bible

(1971 January 20)

Thank you so very much for your Christms check. This morning I put it in my checkbook account but have not spent it yet. It was very welcome. As you may know, I have many expenses due the first of the year. I paid my taxes, well over $500. ... I am leading up to the fact that I would love to buy an expensive book on needlepoint. So would you care if I didn't buy the Bible just now? I want to cover the bench in the hall and the Victorian chair in the attic, and these new books tell how you can make your own designs etc.
