Have been pleasing myself with a very rare occupation,
today, which brings back my young days again; i. e. drawing a small crayon
head. I happened to be not actually pressed with sewing, and so did not resist
the strong impulse I felt to give my fingers a little treat, and substitute the
crayon for the needle. But the children teased me so that it was the “pursuit
of accomplishments under difficulties,” that I found myself illustrating.
