Fig. 335.—Top, with Letter-drop Completed.
The Top of the Box—the diagram for the cutting of which is shown in [Fig. 328]—has a piece 3 by 7 inches cut out on all but one long side, and bent up to form the top of
The Letter-drop ([Fig. 332]). The diagram for the ends of the letter-drop is shown in [Fig. 329], and for the front in [Fig. 330]; [Fig. 333] shows how cloth flaps are glued to the end piece; and [Fig. 335] shows how the end pieces are fastened to the top of the box by means of these flaps. Glue a strip of cloth to each side of the lower edge of the letter-drop front piece for hinges ([Fig. 334]), and glue one to the inside and the other to the outside of the top of the box ([Fig. 335]). Attach rubber-bands to the front and ends of the drop to make it spring shut. Glue and sew the top of the box to the flaps provided on the front and back for the purpose.
