An essay by the Gadred Weavers of New Scotland, New York, framed as an exchange of letters between "McGad" and "Chase". It criticizes handwoven goods sold at charity and craft sales for poor quality, such as unwashed fabrics and routine overshot patterns, and blames weak teaching and low standards, including in hospital occupational therapy. It argues for better planning, knowledge of tools, materials and history, and for selling on quality rather than charity. A photograph shows three double-faced twill fabrics, and the pages end with the start of a section on finishing, fulling and scouring handwoven fabrics, plus an advertisement for a braided rug book.
