Reel 57, Item 1
There is about two minutes of blank tape at the
beginning of the reel. Then Mitchell begins to tell of
his visit to the old lady:
Mitchells On July 20, 1950, we interviewed an old lady,
Mrs. J. T. Davidson, 74 years old, near
Elkins, Mo. She told us a little bit about
her experiences as postmistress, and some things
that she remembered about the old days ....
July 7, 1959:
I was with Mitch on this visit. Mrs. Davidson was very
interesting but so exceedingly shy that it was impossible
to get a satisfactory recording. This should some day
be transcribed for some tales her parents told her about
the Civil War and the Battle of Wilson's Creek.
