Dear Doris,

Your mother wrote her letter this afternoon and seemed to have plenty to write about, then your father has had less and now my self who has nothing.

Yesterday I got out the Binet book and went over it. Perhaps if a regular examiner had given the test I might have understood at first just what was wanted on that diagonal line affair [[image]] because you could have helped by tracing the lines you mailed met as you went along: as it was I got it at first that [[strikethrough]] that [[/strikethrough]] it was the upper & lower sides which were to coincide so got an imaginary figure thus: [[image]]. I read it again, not following the lines and got it thus: [[image]] then as I read the beginning part of the book about the Lr & one lines being longer than the other I went back & by tracing the lines as given got this: [[image]] which I guess is what was intended. How do you think I grade mentally? Also the three words, Paris, stream, fortune, did not seem to lend themselves to very much sense in one sentence in the form in which given. I compromised on, "Many people stream into Paris to make their fortunes." Are you about to try them out on Sid? 

Much love, Lena
