Personal Notes:
Grace's note: There is no meringue recipe on the card, but basically, beat the egg whites until stiff, add a little sugar while beating, and for extra stiffness you can add a pinch of cream of tartar. Spread evenly over pie, forming peaks.
Place in a hot oven until just lightly browned. Cool before serving.
