General Description

Note from Jeanettee Lanning Payne Davis Collection "History Lesson then, Uncle Lee and Sid comes in hard to understand. Lots of static. Side II, I'm Lecturing after a few sentences, it goes back to Uncle Lee. We're walking in the mts at first; Sid and I are looking at flowers." "Traveling up not river- explaining railroading and loging [sic] in the area. Uncle Lee worked for Babcock Lumber Company in the early 1900's."
