An Envelope Notated "You Need To Read This" Lucille Daffron (Allen)'s effort to record moves of the family while they were tenant farming

The Family of William Thomas Daffron and Jessie Mae Hackleman Moved From Place to Place in Alabama during the Years The Family Worked As Tenant Farmers

An old envelope is my mother's effort to reconstruct the moves. 

My mother's notes do not have a date. The envelope itself is postmarked 11 March 1983
