Transcription Notes:
Louise is speaking to Anita. There are other women in the room. The one we know is definitely not her sister because she asked about a picture of Anita's mother. *I had information about the harmonium - an accordion that they said was in the picture. Someone deleted that. ---------- Hi, who ever see this, can you guys double check Anita Scott's part that is done? I am not sure is it correct or not. Sorry to bother you. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-03-24 00:49:24 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-03-24 12:35:57
