To My Old Master: this letter was written in August 1865 by former slave Jourdan Anderson to his old master, Colonel P.H. Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee, who had the audacity to send him a letter asking that he return to work on the plantation.

Sir: I got your letter, and was glad to find that you had not forgotten Jourdan, and that you wanted me to come back and live with you again, promising to do better for me... 1/

I have often felt uneasy about you. I thought the Yankees would have hung you long before this, for harboring Rebs they found at your house. 2/

Ridiculous job interview questions for Leonardo da Vinci. Go.

"Mr. da Vinci, are you comfortable working in a team?"
"Mr da Vinci, how many kids do you have?"

In 1482, Da Vinci wrote out a letter and a list of his capabilities and sent it off to the Duke of Milan, hoping to get employment.

My dear Mr. Diego,

I’m writing this letter from a hospital room before I am admitted into the operating theatre. They want me to hurry, but I am determined to finish writing first, as I don’t want to leave anything unfinished. 1/ Image

When Addie and Ed broke up (1925), his mother had Addie sign a paper giving her temporary custody of Ruth. 1/
But the paper she signed actually gave her permanent custody. They tricked her and took Ruth away.

Addie married for a second time. She and her husband adopted a child. Ernie (second husband) died in 1967. They were together for more than 40 years. 2/
