(On Friday, November 4, Jane called about a job teaching nursery school at the JCC. She was given an appointment with Mr. Miller for Tuesday, November 8, by Gladys Austin. On November 8, Gladys wrote out the memo slip used as object, bearing the name of Mrs. Methinitus, another teacher with whom Jane would work. The name is written in ordinary black pencil.
