A chaotic mix of notes and rants outlines jazz column prospects, postmaster chatter, divorce suits, and a defense of The Seattle Star. The piece alleges attacks on The Star by rivals and emphasizes its independence, local ties, and long-standing Seattle ownership.
Partial text mentions a royal or noble theme and a political note about a president and a peace prize. It includes garbled lines about beauty descriptions and economic remarks on money and shoe prices, with a Cincinnati reference and a suggestion to show something to a shoe dealer.
