Grandma Theaux's Letter - Page Three

This is the continuation of the transcription of my Grandmother Theaux's letter "to the younger generation." As you can see she wrote her letter(s) to my cousin Peggy on any available paper. This piece of paper was from an address book. Sometimes the letter(s) was written on the back of a grocery list or on an envelope.
