	“I been here in St. Louis since Wilson‘s first adininistration and worked in de nut factory five years. I like to sew and do general housework. I re~id, write and spell a lit—fl tie but not enough to speak about. I know dis young generation‘s got a mighty fine chance if dey ‘cept of it and ‘preciate it. Course some do and some don‘t. I prefer living in town dan out here but my son bought dis spot . I an‘ t make my own living no more, so I got to live on it. I git what de relief pretend to call help, tain‘t nuff for nothin‘ though. Dey claim I‘ll git a pension, but I never seen it yet. I‘ll be dead directly and I won‘t need it. I can‘t answer dem other questions ‘bout what us slaves expect and voting, I dont t . know.“
