My Dear be faithful and watch and pray and encourage your Father all you can take good care of James and kiss him for me." No envelope and no hints as to which New Castle Del. Ohio Penn. or Indiana.

19275215Warehouse Point East Windsor Conn: The Church 1927. Octavo 23 x 15.5 cm. 92 pages. Includes table of contents. Advertising interspersed. Evident FIRST EDITION. A church cookbook with two hundred eighty attributed recipes from the North Central Connecticut community of East Windsor. Meat dishes document the "international" interest of the 1920s: English Hotch Potch Hungarian Goulash Italian Spaghetti Dutch Casserole and jarring though it always seems Arabian Pork Chops. Elsewhere an effort to include local American regions crops up: Virginia Vegetable Soup Philadelphia Cinnamon Buns Vermont Canned Chicken. A reference to whole grain in baking seems evident in one recipe calling for "entire wheat." ~ Warehouse Point is a historic neighborhood in what since 1768 has officially borne the name East Windsor. The area had been known as Warehouse Point since the mid-1600s when it functioned as a river transport station at the southern edge of Springfield Massachusetts Colony. The Wesley Church at 55 Main Street - now Wesley United Methodist of East Windsor - prospers its white clapboards rounded chancel stunning stained glass historic organ not to forget the bell dedicated in April 1900 all faithfully maintained. ~ The signature of the book's original owner may have belonged to Ruth Ethel Humason 1893-1949 who according to census records that place them in Warehouse Point had a younger sibling named Ina Louise 1895-1982. The identification rests on the slender evidence that a handwritten recipe labeled "Ina's Choc Frosting" is folded on a loose leaf within the pages of Junior Aid Recipe Book. ~ Shelfworn. Stapled in green wrappers now soiled with black lettering and a photograph of the church within a black border; back chipped and separated save for four strips of white cloth tape applied by a previous owner. Some pages splatter-stained and page fore-edges soiled with chipping and marring of text. Owner's name in ink on front cover: "Ruth E. Humason June 3rd 1927." Good only. Unrecorded.
