gthing aLout this macLine is that you can by
presssing alittle switch suddenly writein redor green instead of in black;
I donvt understanh how Lt is done butit is very jollY? busisisness men us e
the device a gre t deal wen writing to their membersof PARLIAment, in order
to emphasasise the pointin wich theLr inLustice is worSe than anyone elses
inLustice . wen they come to WE ARE RUINED they burst out into red and wen
they come to WE w WOULD remIND YOU tHAT ATtHE LAST ELECTION yoU UNDERTOOk
they burst into GReeN. thei r typists must enjoy doing those letters. with
this arrang ment of corse one coul d do allkinds of capital wallpapers. for
|nstance wat about a scheme of red L's and black %'s and gReen &'s? this
sort of thing

Manya poor man would be glad to Lave that in his parLour ratherthan wat he
has got now. of corse, you wont be ab?e to apreciate the fulll bauty of the
design since i underst and that the retched paper which is going to print
this has no redink and no green inq either; so you must Lust immagine that
the L's are red and the &'s are green. it is extroarordinarry (wat a t
erribleword!!!) how backward in MAny waYs these uptodate papers are
wwww1/41/41/41/41/41/41/2=3/4 now how did that happen i wond er; i was experimenting with
the BACK SPACE key; if that is wat it is for i dont thinq i shall use it
again. iI wonder if i am impriving at this1/2 sometimes i thinq i am and so
metimes i thinq iam not . we have not had so many L's lately but i notice
that theere have been one or two misplaced q's & icannot remember to write
i in capital s there it goes again.
Of curse the typewriter itself is not wolly giltless 1/2ike all mac&ines it
has amind of it sown and is of like passsions with ourselves. i could put
that into greek if only the machine was not so hopelessly MOdern. it 's
chief failing is that it cannot write m'sdecently and instead of h it will
keep putting that confounded L. as amatter of fact ithas been doing m's
rather better today butthat is only its cusssedussedness and because i have
been opening my shoul ders wenever we have come to an m; or should it be A
m? who can tell; little peculiuliarities like making indifferent m's are
very important & wLen one is bying a typewiter one sLould make careful
enquiries about themc; because it is things of that sort wich so often give
criminals away. there is notHing
