Heather: Tell me something about your grandfather, John Johnson Spencer.
He had a beard. He was all right. I didn’t talk with him. (In those days) “Children should be seen but not heard.”

Didn’t like washing dishes. Didn’t have to do it too much. Don’t remember ever having to do any chores, outside of feeding the dog.
“Electric Lights!!! It was so bright and I could see everything. I didn’t have to carry a kerosene lantern or fill the lamp. I was afriad to light the lantern. (With electric lights) all I had to do was turn the lights on!
(Oh) time for my lesson! (scheduled activity at Alpine Nursing Home)
[Heather: I’ll call next Saturday. Love you, Mother.]
