Miss Libbey. My father was so unkind to
my mother and to me. Ny mother never
knew anything but hardships and work and
abuse. Many time when I was child l
have seen him slap and abuse her. She used
to scrimp and save every way she possibly
could and he was continually complaining that
she was breaking him up. He called both her
and me names that were disgrace to fall
