Grace's Letter

Mix the fruit cocktail and beaten egg. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the fruit cocktail mixture. Pour into a 9 x 12 inch pan. Mix brown sugar and nuts and spread over the dough. Bake at 300°F for 1 hour.

This recipe came from the Morris County Extension Office, where Carl H. worked for many years. Grace told Sue: "You'll have fun letting people guess what is in it."

I haven't transcribed the whole of this letter yet. Coming one of these days.
