Personal Notes:
Our Great Aunt Florence sent this recipe to mom. It seems they had a "recipe exchange" going on and would send recipes to each other with every letter they wrote. We recently found a file full of handwritten letters from Aunt Florence and each one included a great "tried and true" recipe!
