Note in Cordelia Williams' handwriting on a note titled "mothers day greetings." It appears to be a list of the people who sent her gifts and what they gave her. Reverse says that Cordelia just heard on the radio that someone in D.C, unspecified, was charging over 3.00 per pound for meat and was questioned about it but said she was not doing anything that anybody else was not doing.

Williams, Cordelia Shelton (1884-1978)
