In 1912 a Kentucky grandmother gave a bride the following recipe for washing clothes (misspelled words and all) :

1. Bild fire in back yard to heet kettle of rainwater.

2. Set tubs so smoke won’t blow in eyes if wind is pert.

3. Shave one hole cake lie soap in boilin water.

4. Sort things, make three piles. 1 pile white. 1 pile cullord. 1 pile work britches and rags.

5. To make starch stur flour in cold water to smooth then thin down with boilin water.

6. Rub dirty spots on board, scrub hard, then boil. Rub cullord but don’t boil — just rench and starch.

7. Take white things out of kettle with broom stick handle then rench, blew and starch.

8. Spred tee towels on grass.

9. Hang old rags on fence.

10. Pour rench water in flower bed.

11. Scrub porch with hot soapy water.
