Miss Mullen tells Patricia that her knitting at BR's lectures at the Barnes Foundation was "annoying and a distraction from attention to the speaker." She reminds Patricia of the incident that took place on 27 February 1941. Now Patricia has again attended BR's class and indulged in knitting. This was BR's lecture on 30 October 1941. Mullen includes in her letter the text of the deferred communication by the Board of Trustees.
