has the peculiarity that the threads

run two by two in both the warp and the weft in this fashion:

Illustration as shown in this drawing. It is

an excellent canvas that both Frost

and I have used many times – my

picture in the corner ^at^{the art society} – the one with the unpainted

frame is painted on this type of canvas.

The canvas goes under the name of

of "Painter’s canvas" in the shop – in other words it

is intended for this use; yet Aavang

and I, who have both used it, – found

that it was too expensive – circa 3 kroner per m.

although it is quite robust and wide

(ca. 1,40 m.) –

The canvas I bought for you is 5,40 cm

I got the 40 cm. extra so I think we

can roughly manage to get 5 canvases at

105 cm. from it. I wanted to hear if

you would like to have the "painter’s canvas" before I

purchase any of it, if we take a larger

consignment we may get it more cheaply – I am

willing to join in and take some as well.
