The red strip is tied in an overhand knot and then flattened, resulting in a pentagon shape in the middle of the strip. There\u2019s another red strip tied the same way glued onto the envelope. Given that Peter later taught me how to make that pentagonal shape, it\u2019s possible that he or Marcy made these and attached them to the paper, but it\u2019s also possible that the paper came that way.<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_15947\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 310px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/marcy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/01\/marcy-ribbon-red-pentagon.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/marcy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/01\/marcy-ribbon-red-pentagon-300x181.jpg\" alt=\"Strip of red paper tied in a pentagonal knot\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15947\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Strip of red paper tied in a pentagonal knot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Tuesday<\/p>\r\n<p>2\/13\/68<\/p>\r\n<p>If you hold the paper up to the light, you can see a [five-pointed star] (in the red part)<\/p>\r\n<p>Hullo.<\/p>\r\n<p>How is it all?
